2 Samuel 23

1Now theseH428 be the lastH314 wordsH1697 of DavidH1732. DavidH1732 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 saith, and the manH1397 who was raisedH6965 on highH5920 saith, the anointedH4899 of the GodH430 of JacobH3290, and the sweet psalmistH2158 of IsraelH3478: 2The spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 spake by meH5921, and his wordH1696 was uponH5921 my tongueH3956. 3The GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, the RockH6697 of IsraelH3478 spake to meH1696: One that ruleth over menH120 righteouslyH6662, that ruleth in the fearH3374 of GodH430, 4He shall be as the lightH216 of the morningH1242, when the sunH8121 riseth, a morningH1242 withoutH3808 cloudsH5645; when the tenderH1877 grassH1877 springeth out of the earthH776, throughH776 clear shiningH216 afterH776 rainH4306. 5Verily my houseH1004 is notH3808 soH3651 with GodH410; yet he hath madeH7760 with meH7760 an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285, ordered in allH3605 things, and sure: for it is allH3605 my salvationH3468, and allH3605 my desireH2656, althoughH3588 he maketh it notH3808 to growH6779. 6But the ungodly shall be allH3605 of them as thornsH6975 to be thrustH5074 awayH3947, for they cannotH3808 be takenH3947 with the handH3027: 7But the manH376 that toucheth them must be armedH4390 with ironH1270 and the staff of a spearH2595; and they shall be utterly burnedH8313 with fireH784 in their placeH7675. 8TheseH428 be the namesH8034 of the mightyH1368 menH1368 whomH834 DavidH1732 had: Josheb-basshebethH3429 a TahchemoniteH8461, chiefH7218 of the captainsH7218; the sameH1931 was AdinoH5722 the EzniteH6112, againstH5921 eightH8083 hundredH3967 slainH2491 at one time. 9And afterH310 him was EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of Dodai the sonH1121 of an AhohiteH266, one of the threeH7969 mightyH1368 menH376 with DavidH1732, when they defied the PhilistinesH6430 that were there gatheredH622 togetherH622 to battleH4421, and the menH376 of IsraelH3478 were goneH5927 awayH622: 10He aroseH6965, and smoteH5221 the PhilistinesH6430 untilH5704 his handH3027 was wearyH3021, and his handH3027 clave unto the swordH2719: and the LORDH3068 wrought a greatH1419 victoryH8668 that dayH3117; and the peopleH5971 returnedH7725 afterH310 him onlyH389 to spoil. 11And afterH310 him was Shammah the sonH1121 of Agce a HarariteH2043. And the PhilistinesH6430 were gatheredH622 togetherH622 intoH1961 a troop, whereH8033 was a plotH2513 of groundH7704 fullH4395 of lentilsH5742; and the peopleH5971 fledH5127 from the PhilistinesH6430. 12But he stoodH3320 in the midstH8432 of the plotH2513, and defendedH5337 it, and slewH5221 the PhilistinesH6430: and the LORDH3068 wrought a greatH1419 victoryH8668. 13And threeH7970 of the thirtyH7970 chiefH7218 wentH935 downH3381, and cameH935 to DavidH1732 in the harvestH7105 time unto the caveH4631 of AdullamH5725; and the troop of the PhilistinesH6430 were encampedH2583 in the valleyH6010 of RephaimH7497. 14And DavidH1732 was then in the hold, and the garrisonH4673 of the PhilistinesH6430 was then in Beth-lehem. 15And DavidH1732 longedH183 and saidH559, OhH4310 that one would giveH8248 meH8248 waterH4325 to drinkH8248 of the wellH877 of Beth-lehem whichH834 is by the gateH8179! 16And the threeH7969 mightyH1368 menH1368 brake throughH935 the hostH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430, and drewH7579 waterH4325 outH413 of the wellH877 of Beth-lehem, that was by the gateH8179, and tookH5375 it, and broughtH935 it to DavidH1732: but he would notH3808 drinkH8354 thereof, but poured it outH413 unto the LORDH3068. 17And he saidH559, Be it farH2486 from meH5315, O LORDH3068, that I should doH6213 this: shall I drinkH8354 the bloodH1818 of the menH376 that wentH1980 in jeopardy of their livesH5315? therefore he would notH3808 drinkH8354 it. TheseH428 things didH6213 the threeH7969 mightyH1368 menH376. 18And AbishaiH52, the brotherH251 of JoabH3097, the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, was chiefH7218 of the threeH7969. And he liftedH5782 upH5921 his spearH2595 againstH5921 threeH7969 hundredH3967 and slew them, and had a nameH8034 among the threeH7969. 19Was he notH3808 mostH4480 honourable of the threeH7969? therefore he was madeH3513 their captainH8269: howbeit he attained notH3808 unto the first threeH7969. 20And BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, the sonH1121 of a valiant manH376 of KabzeelH6909, who had doneH6467 mighty deedsH6467, he slewH5221 the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of ArielH739 of MoabH4124: he wentH3381 downH3381 also and slewH5221 a lionH738 in the midstH8432 of a pitH953 in time of snowH7950: 21And he slewH2026 an EgyptianH4713, a goodly manH376: and the EgyptianH4713 had a spearH2595 in his handH3027; but he wentH3381 downH3381 to him with a staffH7626, and plucked the spearH2595 outH413 of the Egyptian’sH4713 handH3027, and slewH2026 him with his ownH376 spearH2595. 22TheseH428 things didH6213 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and had a nameH8034 among the threeH7969 mightyH1368 menH1368. 23He was moreH4480 honourable thanH4480 the thirtyH7970, but he attained notH3808 to the first threeH7969. And DavidH1732 setH7760 him over his guardH4928. 24AsahelH6214 the brotherH251 of JoabH3097 was one of the thirtyH7970; ElhananH445 the sonH1121 of DodoH1734 of Beth-lehem; 25ShammahH8048 the HaroditeH2733, ElikaH470 the HaroditeH2733; 26HelezH2503 the PaltiteH6407, IraH5896 the sonH1121 of IkkeshH6142 the TekoiteH8621; 27AbiezerH44 the AnathothiteH6069, MebunnaiH4012 the HushathiteH2843; 28ZalmonH6756 the AhohiteH266, MaharaiH4121 the NetophathiteH5200; 29HelebH2460 the sonH1121 of BaanahH1196 the NetophathiteH5200, IttaiH863 the sonH1121 of RibaiH7380 of GibeahH1390 of the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144; 30BenaiahH1141 a PirathoniteH6553, HiddaiH1914 of the brooks of GaashH1608; 31Abi-albonH45 the ArbathiteH6164, AzmavethH5820 the Barhumite; 32EliahbaH455 the ShaalboniteH8170, the sonsH1121 of JashenH3464, JonathanH3083; 33ShammahH8048 the HarariteH2043, AhiamH279 the sonH1121 of ShararH8325 the ArariteH2043; 34ElipheletH467 the sonH1121 of AhasbaiH308, the sonH1121 of the MaacathiteH4602, EliamH463 the sonH1121 of AhithophelH302 the GiloniteH1526; 35HezroH2695 the CarmeliteH3761, PaaraiH6474 the ArbiteH701; 36IgalH3008 the sonH1121 of NathanH5416 of ZobahH6678, BaniH1137 the GaditeH1425; 37ZelekH6768 the AmmoniteH5984, NaharaiH5171 the BeerothiteH886, armourbearers to JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870; 38IraH5896 the IthriteH3505, GarebH1619 the IthriteH3505; 39UriahH223 the HittiteH2850: thirtyH7970 and sevenH7651 in allH3605.
