1 Chronicles 11

1And all IsraelH3478 assembledH6908 themselves to DavidH1732 to HebronH2275, sayingH559, Behold, we are thy boneH6106 and thy fleshH1320. 2Even aforetime, even when SaulH7586 wasH1961 kingH4428, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in IsraelH3478; and Jehovah thy 1GodH430 saidH559 to thee, Thou shalt feedH7462 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and thou shalt beH1961 princeH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. 3And all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to the kingH4428 to HebronH2275; and DavidH1732 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with them in HebronH2275 before Jehovah; and they anointedH4886 DavidH1732 kingH4428 over IsraelH3478 according to the wordH1697 of Jehovah through SamuelH8050. 4And DavidH1732 and all IsraelH3478 went to JerusalemH3389, which is JebusH2982; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776. 5And the inhabitantsH3427 of JebusH2982 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou shalt not comeH935 in hither. But DavidH1732 tookH3920 the stronghold of ZionH6726, which is the cityH5892 of DavidH1732. 6And DavidH1732 saidH559, Whoever smites the Jebusites firstH7223 shall beH1961 chiefH7218 and captain. And JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 wentH5927 firstH7223 up, and wasH1961 chiefH7218. 7And DavidH1732 dweltH3427 in the strongholdH4679; thereforeH3651 they calledH7121 it the cityH5892 of DavidH1732. 8And he builtH1129 the cityH5892 roundH5439 about, even from the MilloH4407 roundH5439 about; and JoabH3097 renewed the restH7605 of the cityH5892. 9And DavidH1732 became continually greaterH1419; and Jehovah of hostsH6635 was with him. 10And these are the chiefH7218 of the mightyH1368 menH1368 whom DavidH1732 had, who shewed themselves valiant with him in his kingdomH4438, with all IsraelH3478, to makeH2388 him kingH4427, according to the wordH1697 of Jehovah concerning IsraelH3478. 11And this is the numberH4557 of the mightyH1368 menH1368 whom DavidH1732 had: JashobeamH3434, the sonH1121 of Hachmoni, the chiefH7218 of the captains; he brandished his spearH2595 against threeH7969 hundredH3967, slainH2491 [by him] at oneH259 timeH6471. 12And after him, EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of DodoH1734, the AhohiteH266; he was one of the threeH7969 mightyH1368 menH1368. 13He wasH1961 with DavidH1732 at Pas-dammim, where the PhilistinesH6430 wereH1961 gatheredH622 together to battleH4421; and there wasH1961 [there] a plot of ground fullH4392 of barleyH8184; and the peopleH5971 had fledH5127 from before the PhilistinesH6430. 14And they stoodH3320 in the midstH8432 of the plot and deliveredH5337 it, and smote the PhilistinesH6430; and Jehovah wrought a greatH1419 deliveranceH8668. 15And threeH7969 of the thirtyH7970 chiefsH7218 wentH3381 downH3381 to the rockH6697 to DavidH1732, to the caveH4631 of AdullamH5725, when the armyH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 was encampedH2583 in the valleyH6010 of RephaimH7497. 16And DavidH1732 was thenH227 in the stronghold; and the Philistines' garrisonH5333 was thenH227 at Bethlehem. 17And DavidH1732 longed, and saidH559, Oh that oneH834 would giveH8248 me to drinkH8248 of the waterH4325 of the well of Bethlehem, which is in the gateH8179! 18And the threeH7969 brokeH1234 through the campH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430, and drewH7579 waterH4325 out of the well of Bethlehem, which is in the gateH8179, and tookH5375 it, and broughtH935 it to DavidH1732; DavidH1732 however wouldH14 not drinkH8354 of it, but poured it out to Jehovah. 19And he saidH559, My 2GodH430 forbid it me, that I should do this thing! should I drinkH8354 the bloodH1818 of these menH376 [who wentH935] at the risk of their livesH5315? for at the risk of their lives they broughtH935 it. Therefore he wouldH14 not drinkH8354 it. These thingsH428 did the threeH7969 mightyH1368 menH376. 20And AbishaiH52 the brotherH251 of JoabH3097, he was the chiefH7218 of threeH7969; and he brandished his spearH2595 against threeH7969 hundredH3967 and slew them; and he had a nameH8034 among the threeH7969. 21Of the threeH7969 he wasH1961 moreH4480 honourable than the twoH8147, and he wasH1961 their captain; but he did not attain to the [first] threeH7969. 22BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, the sonH1121 of a valiant manH376, greatH7227 in exploits, of KabzeelH6909: he it was that smote twoH8147 lionsH738 of MoabH4124; and he wentH3381 downH3381 and smote a lionH738 in the midstH8432 of a pitH953 on a snowy dayH3117. 23He also smote the EgyptianH4713, a manH376 of stature, fiveH2568 cubitsH520 high: and in the Egyptian's handH3027 was a spearH2595 like a weaver's beamH4500; and he wentH3381 downH3381 to him with a staffH7626, and plucked the spearH2595 out of the Egyptian's handH3027, and slewH2026 him with his own spearH2595. 24These thingsH428 did BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and he had a nameH8034 among the threeH7969 mightyH1368 menH1368. 25Behold, he was honoured above the thirtyH7970, but he did not attain to the [first] threeH7969. And DavidH1732 setH7760 him in his council. 26And the valiant menH1368 of the forces were: AsahelH6214 the brotherH251 of JoabH3097, ElhananH445 the sonH1121 of DodoH1734 of Bethlehem, 27Shammoth the Harorite, HelezH2503 the PeloniteH6397, 28IraH5896 the sonH1121 of IkkeshH6142 the TekoiteH8621, AbiezerH44 the AnathothiteH6069, 29Sibbechai the HushathiteH2843, Ilai the AhohiteH266, 30MaharaiH4121 the NetophathiteH5200, Heled the sonH1121 of BaanahH1196 the NetophathiteH5200, 31IttaiH863 the sonH1121 of RibaiH7380 of GibeahH1390 of the children of BenjaminH1144, BenaiahH1141 the PirathoniteH6553, 32Hurai of the brooks of GaashH1608, AbielH22 the ArbathiteH6164, 33AzmavethH5820 the Baharumite, EliahbaH455 the ShaalboniteH8170, 34Bene-Hashem the Gizonite, JonathanH3129 the sonH1121 of Shage the HarariteH2043, 35AhiamH279 the sonH1121 of Sacar the HarariteH2043, Eliphal the sonH1121 of Ur, 36HepherH2660 the Mecherathite, AhijahH281 the PeloniteH6397, 37Hezro the CarmeliteH3761, Naarai the sonH1121 of Ezbai, 38JoelH3100 the brotherH251 of NathanH5416, Mibhar the sonH1121 of Hagri, 39ZelekH6768 the AmmoniteH5984, NaharaiH5171 the Berothite, the armour-bearer of JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, 40IraH5896 the IthriteH3505, GarebH1619 the IthriteH3505, 41UriahH223 the HittiteH2850, ZabadH2066 the sonH1121 of AhlaiH304, 42Adina the sonH1121 of Shiza the ReubeniteH7206, a captain of the Reubenites, and thirtyH7970 with him; 43HananH2605 the sonH1121 of Maachah, and JoshaphatH3146 the Mithnite, 44Uzzia the Ashtarothite, Shama and JeielH3273 the sonsH1121 of HothamH2369 the Aroerite, 45JediaelH3043 the sonH1121 of ShimriH8113, and JohaH3109 his brotherH251, the Tizite, 46ElielH447 of Mahavim, and Jeribai, and Joshaviah, the sonsH1121 of Elnaam, and Jithmah the MoabiteH4125, 47ElielH447, and ObedH5744, and JaasielH3300 the Mezobaite.
