1 Crónicas 11
1 Entonces todos los israelitas se reunieron con David en Hebrón. Y le dijeron: “Somos tu carne y tu sangre.
Then the people of Israel came to David at Hebron [town] and said to him, “Listen, we have the same ancestors [IDM] that you have.
2 En los últimos tiempos, aunque Saúl era el rey, tú eras el verdadero líder de Israel. El Señor, tu Dios, te ha dicho: ‘Tú serás el pastor de mi pueblo, y tú serás el jefe de mi pueblo Israel’”.
In the past, when Saul was our king, it was you who led our Israeli [soldiers in our battles]. You are the one to whom Yahweh our God promised, ‘You will be the leader [MET] of my people; you will be their king.’”
3 Todos los ancianos de Israel acudieron ante el rey en Hebrón, y David hizo un acuerdo solemne con ellos ante el Señor. Allí ungieron a David como rey de Israel, tal como el Señor lo había prometido por medio de Samuel.
So all the Israeli elders came to David at Hebron. And David made a sacred agreement with them while Yahweh was listening. They anointed him [with olive oil to set him apart] to be the king of the Israeli people. That is what Yahweh had previously told [the prophet] Samuel would happen.
4 Entonces David y todos los israelitas fueron a Jerusalén (antes conocida como Jebús), donde vivían los jebuseos.
David and all the Israeli [soldiers] [SYN] went to Jerusalem. [At that time, ] Jerusalem was called Jebus, and the people who lived there were the Jebus people-group.
5 Pero los jebuseos le dijeron a David: “No entrarás aquí”. Sin embargo, David capturó la fortaleza de Sión, ahora conocida como la Ciudad de David.
Those people said to David, “Your [soldiers] will not be able to get inside our city!” But David’s [soldiers] captured the city, even though it had strong walls around it, and since then it has been called ‘The City of David’.
6 Y David había dicho: “El primero que ataque a los jebuseos será mi comandante en jefe”. Como Joab, hijo de Sarvia, fue el primero, se convirtió en el comandante en jefe.
[What happened was this: ]: David said [to his soldiers], “The one who leads [our soldiers] to attack the Jebus people-group will become the commander of all my army.” Joab, the son of Zeruiah, led the soldiers, so he became the commander of all the army.
7 David decidió habitar en la fortaleza, por eso la llamaron Ciudad de David.
[After they captured] the city which had strong walls around it, David moved there. That is why they named it ‘The City of David’.
8 Entonces construyó la ciudad a su alrededor, desde el Milo e hizo un circuito alrededor, mientras que Joab reparaba el resto de la ciudad.
David’s workers rebuilt the city, starting where the land was filled in and extending to the wall that was around the city. Joab’s [men] repaired the other parts of the city.
9 David se hizo cada vez más poderoso, porque el Señor Todopoderoso estaba con él.
David became more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.
10 Estos fueron los líderes de los poderosos guerreros de David que, junto con todos los israelitas, le dieron un fuerte apoyo para que se convirtiera en rey, tal como el Señor había prometido que sucedería con Israel.
Yahweh had promised [that David would become the king]. And all the Israeli people (were happy that David was/supported David as) their king. There were many soldiers/warriors who helped David’s kingdom to remain strong.
11 Esta es la lista de los principales guerreros que apoyaron a David: Jasobeam, hijo de Hacmoni, líder de los Tres. Con su lanza, una vez mató a 300 hombres en una sola batalla.
This is a list of the leaders of David’s [most mighty] warriors: Jashobeam was from the Hacmon clan. He was one of the leaders of David’s most powerful soldiers. One time he fought against 300 enemies and killed them all with his spear.
12 Después de él vino Eleazar, hijo de Dodo, descendiente de Ahoha, uno de los Tres guerreros principales.
Another one was Eleazar, who was the son of Dodo from the clan of Ahoh.
13 Estaba con David en Pasdamin cuando los filisteos se reunieron para la batalla que tuvo lugar en un campo de cebada. El ejército israelita huyó cuando los filisteos atacaron,
[One day] he was with David at Pas Dammim when the soldiers of Philistia gathered there for the battle. There was a field of barley there. At first the Israeli soldiers ran away from the soldiers of Philistia,
14 pero David y Eleazar se apostaron en medio del campo, defendiendo su terreno y matando a los filisteos. El Señor los salvó dándoles una gran victoria.
but then David and Eleazar stopped in the middle of the field and fought to defend it and killed [many of] the soldiers of Philistia. Yahweh enabled them to win a great victory on that day.
15 En otra ocasión, los Tres, que formaban parte de los Treinta guerreros principales, bajaron a recibir a David cuando estaba en la cueva de Adulam. El ejército filisteo estaba acampado en el valle de Refaim.
One time three of David’s thirty most mighty warriors came to David when he was camping next to the huge rock outside the cave near Adullam. At that same time, the army of Philistia had camped in the Rephaim Valley.
16 En ese momento David estaba en la fortaleza, y la guarnición filistea estaba en Belén.
David was in a fortress, and some of the soldiers of Philistia were occupying Bethlehem.
17 David tenía mucha sed y dijo: “¡Ojalá alguien pudiera traerme un trago de agua del pozo que está junto a la puerta de la entrada de Belén!”
[One day] David was very thirsty and said, “I wish that someone would bring me some water from the well near the gate at Bethlehem!”
18 Los Tres atravesaron las defensas filisteas, tomaron un poco de agua del pozo de la puerta de Belén y se la llevaron a David. Pero David se negó a beberla y la vertió como ofrenda al Señor.
So those three most outstanding warriors forced their way through the camp of Philistia soldiers and drew some water from the well, and brought it to David. But he would not drink it. Instead, he poured it out [on the ground to be an offering] to Yahweh.
19 “¡Dios me libre de hacer esto!”, dijo. “Sería como beber la sangre de esos hombres que arriesgaron sus vidas. Ellos arriesgaron sus vidas para traerme una bebida”. Así que no la bebió. Estas son algunas de las cosas que hicieron los tres guerreros principales.
He said, “Yahweh, it would certainly not be right for me to drink this water! That would be like [RHQ] drinking the blood of these men who were willing/ready to die for me!” So he refused to drink it. That was one of the things that those three most outstanding warriors did.
20 Abisai, hermano de Joab, era el líder de los segundos Tres. Usando su lanza, una vez mató a 300 hombres, y se hizo famoso entre los Tres.
Joab’s [younger] brother Abishai was the leader of the 30 most mighty warriors. [One time] Abishai fought 300 [enemy] soldiers with his spear and killed them.
21 Era el más apreciado de los Tres y era su comandante, aunque no fue uno de los primeros Tres.
So he became as famous as those three most outstanding warriors. He became their commander, even though he was not one of those three men.
22 Benaía, hijo de Joiada, un fuerte guerrero de Cabseel, hizo muchas cosas sorprendentes. Mató a dos hijos de Ariel de Moab. También fue tras un león a un pozo en la nieve y lo mató.
Jehoiada’s son Benaiah was a brave soldier from Kabzeel [town] who did heroic deeds. He killed two of the best warriors from [the] Moab [people-group]. One day he went down into a pit when snow was falling [on the ground] and killed a lion there.
23 En otra ocasión mató a un egipcio, un hombre enorme que medía dos metros y medio. El egipcio tenía una lanza cuyo asta era tan gruesa como la vara de un tejedor. Benaía lo atacó sólo con un garrote, pero pudo agarrar la lanza de la mano del egipcio, y lo mató con su propia lanza.
He also killed a soldier from Egypt who was (7-1/2 feet/2.3 meters) tall. The soldier from Egypt carried a spear that was as long as a weaver’s rod. Benaiah had [only] a club, but he grabbed the other man’s spear and killed him with it.
24 Este fue el tipo de cosas que hizo Benaía y que lo hicieron tan famoso como los tres guerreros principales.
Those are some of the things that Benaiah did. So he became as famous as the three mighty warriors.
25 Era el más apreciado de los Treinta, aunque no era uno de los Tres. David lo puso a cargo de su guardia personal.
He was more honored than the other members of the group of thirty most mighty warriors, but he did not become a member of the group of three most outstanding warriors. David appointed him to be the leader of his bodyguards.
