Then all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ gathered⁶⁹⁰⁸ themselves to David¹⁷³² unto Hebron,²²⁷⁵ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Behold, we are thy bone⁶¹⁰⁶ and thy flesh.¹³²⁰

And moreover¹⁵⁷¹ in time past,⁸⁵⁴³ even¹⁵⁷¹ when Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ was king,⁴⁴²⁸ thou wast he that leddest out³³¹⁸ and broughtest in⁹³⁵ Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ thy Elohim⁴³⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto thee, Thou shalt feed⁷⁴⁶² my people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and thou shalt be ruler⁵⁰⁵⁷ over my people⁵⁹⁷¹ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

Therefore came⁹³⁵ all the elders²²⁰⁵ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to the king⁴⁴²⁸ to Hebron;²²⁷⁵ and David¹⁷³² made³⁷⁷² a covenant¹²⁸⁵ with them in Hebron²²⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Yahweh;³⁰⁶⁸ and they anointed⁴⁸⁸⁶ David¹⁷³² king⁴⁴²⁸ over Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ according to the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ by³⁰²⁷ Samuel.⁸⁰⁵⁰

And David¹⁷³² and all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ went³²¹² to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ which is Jebus;²⁹⁸² where the Jebusites²⁹⁸³ were, the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of the land.⁷⁷⁶

Judges 19:10

And the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of Jebus²⁹⁸² said⁵⁵⁹ to David,¹⁷³² Thou shalt not come⁹³⁵ hither. Nevertheless David¹⁷³² took³⁹²⁰ the castle⁴⁶⁸⁶ of Zion,⁶⁷²⁶ which is the city⁵⁸⁹² of David.¹⁷³²

And David¹⁷³² said,⁵⁵⁹ Whosoever smiteth⁵²²¹ the Jebusites²⁹⁸³ first⁷²²³ shall be chief⁷²¹⁸ and captain.⁸²⁶⁹ So Joab³⁰⁹⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Zeruiah⁶⁸⁷⁰ went first⁷²²³ up,⁵⁹²⁷ and was chief.⁷²¹⁸

And David¹⁷³² dwelt³⁴²⁷ in the castle;⁴⁶⁷⁹ therefore they called⁷¹²¹ it the city⁵⁸⁹² of David.¹⁷³²

And he built¹¹²⁹ the city⁵⁸⁹² round about,⁵⁴³⁹ even from Millo⁴⁴⁰⁷ round about:⁵⁴³⁹ and Joab³⁰⁹⁷ repaired²⁴²¹ the rest⁷⁶⁰⁵ of the city.⁵⁸⁹²

So David¹⁷³² waxed³²¹² greater¹⁹⁸⁰ and greater:¹⁴¹⁹ for Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts⁶⁶³⁵ was with him.

These also are the chief⁷²¹⁸ of the mighty men¹³⁶⁸ whom David¹⁷³² had, who strengthened²³⁸⁸ themselves with him in his kingdom,⁴⁴³⁸ and with all Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ to make him king,⁴⁴²⁷ according to the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ concerning Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

And this is the number⁴⁵⁵⁷ of the mighty men¹³⁶⁸ whom David¹⁷³² had; Jashobeam,³⁴³⁴ an Hachmonite,¹¹²¹ the chief⁷²¹⁸ of the captains:⁷⁹⁹¹ he lifted up⁵⁷⁸² his spear²⁵⁹⁵ against three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ slain²⁴⁹¹ by him at one²⁵⁹ time.⁶⁴⁷¹

And after him³¹⁰ was Eleazar⁴⁹⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Dodo,¹⁷³⁴ the Ahohite,²⁶⁶ who was one of the three⁷⁹⁶⁹ mighties.¹³⁶⁸

He was with David¹⁷³² at Pasdammim,⁶⁴⁵⁰ and there the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ were gathered⁶²² together to battle,⁴⁴²¹ where was a parcel²⁵¹³ of ground⁷⁷⁰⁴ full⁴³⁹² of barley;⁸¹⁸⁴ and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ fled⁵¹²⁷ from before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the Philistines.⁶⁴³⁰

And they set³³²⁰ themselves in the midst⁸⁴³² of that parcel,²⁵¹³ and delivered⁵³³⁷ it, and slew⁵²²¹ the Philistines;⁶⁴³⁰ and Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ saved³⁴⁶⁷ them by a great¹⁴¹⁹ deliverance.⁸⁶⁶⁸

Now three⁷⁹⁶⁹ of the thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ captains⁷²¹⁸ went down³³⁸¹ to the rock⁶⁶⁹⁷ to David,¹⁷³² into the cave⁴⁶³¹ of Adullam;⁵⁷²⁵ and the host⁴²⁶⁴ of the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ encamped²⁵⁸³ in the valley⁶⁰¹⁰ of Rephaim.⁷⁴⁹⁷

And David¹⁷³² was then in the hold,⁴⁶⁸⁶ and the Philistines'⁶⁴³⁰ garrison⁵³³³ was then at Bethlehem.¹⁰³⁵

And David¹⁷³² longed,¹⁸³ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Oh that one would give me drink⁸²⁴⁸ of the water⁴³²⁵ of the well⁹⁵³ of Bethlehem,¹⁰³⁵ that is at the gate!⁸¹⁷⁹

And the three⁷⁹⁶⁹ brake through¹²³⁴ the host⁴²⁶⁴ of the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and drew⁷⁵⁷⁹ water⁴³²⁵ out of the well⁹⁵³ of Bethlehem,¹⁰³⁵ that was by the gate,⁸¹⁷⁹ and took⁵³⁷⁵ it, and brought⁹³⁵ it to David:¹⁷³² but David¹⁷³² would¹⁴ not drink⁸³⁵⁴ of it, but poured it out⁵²⁵⁸ to Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸

And said,⁵⁵⁹ My Elohim⁴³⁰ forbid²⁴⁸⁶ it me, that I should do⁶²¹³ this thing:²⁰⁶³ shall I drink⁸³⁵⁴ the blood¹⁸¹⁸ of these men⁵⁸² that have put their lives in jeopardy?⁵³¹⁵ for with the jeopardy of their lives⁵³¹⁵ they brought⁹³⁵ it. Therefore he would¹⁴ not drink⁸³⁵⁴ it. These things did⁶²¹³ these three⁷⁹⁶⁹ mightiest.¹³⁶⁸

And Abishai⁵² the brother²⁵¹ of Joab,³⁰⁹⁷ he was chief⁷²¹⁸ of the three:⁷⁹⁶⁹ for lifting up⁵⁷⁸² his spear²⁵⁹⁵ against three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred,³⁹⁶⁷ he slew²⁴⁹¹ them, and had a name⁸⁰³⁴ among the three.⁷⁹⁶⁹

Of the three,⁷⁹⁶⁹ he was more honourable³⁵¹³ than the two;⁸¹⁴⁷ for he was their captain:⁸²⁶⁹ howbeit he attained⁹³⁵ not to the first three.⁷⁹⁶⁹

Benaiah¹¹⁴¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehoiada,³⁰⁷⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of a valiant²⁴²⁸ man³⁷⁶ of Kabzeel,⁶⁹⁰⁹ who had done many⁷²²⁷ acts;⁶⁴⁶⁷ he slew⁵²²¹ two⁸¹⁴⁷ lionlike men⁷³⁹ of Moab:⁴¹²⁴ also he went down³³⁸¹ and slew⁵²²¹ a lion⁷³⁸ in⁸⁴³² a pit⁹⁵³ in a snowy⁷⁹⁵⁰ day.³¹¹⁷

And he slew⁵²²¹ an Egyptian,⁴⁷¹³ a man³⁷⁶ of great stature,⁴⁰⁶⁰ five²⁵⁶⁸ cubits⁵²⁰ high; and in the Egyptian's⁴⁷¹³ hand³⁰²⁷ was a spear²⁵⁹⁵ like a weaver's⁷⁰⁷ beam;⁴⁵⁰⁰ and he went down³³⁸¹ to him with a staff,⁷⁶²⁶ and plucked¹⁴⁹⁷ the spear²⁵⁹⁵ out of the Egyptian's⁴⁷¹³ hand,³⁰²⁷ and slew²⁰²⁶ him with his own spear.²⁵⁹⁵

These things did⁶²¹³ Benaiah¹¹⁴¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Jehoiada,³⁰⁷⁷ and had the name⁸⁰³⁴ among the three⁷⁹⁶⁹ mighties.¹³⁶⁸

Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ he was honourable³⁵¹³ among the thirty,⁷⁹⁷⁰ but attained⁹³⁵ not to the first three:⁷⁹⁶⁹ and David¹⁷³² set⁷⁷⁶⁰ him over his guard.⁴⁹²⁸
