역대상 11장 [RSV]

1. 1 Then all Israel gathered together to David at Hebron, and said, "Behold, we are your bone and flesh.

2. 2 In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you that led out and brought in Israel; and the LORD your God said to you, `You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over my people Israel."

3. 3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron; and David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD, and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel.

4. 4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, that is Jebus, where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.

5. 5 The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, "You will not come in here." Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David.

6. 6 David said, "Whoever shall smite the Jebusites first shall be chief and commander." And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief.

7. 7 And David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore it was called the city of David.

8. 8 And he built the city round about from the Millo in complete circuit; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

9. 9 And David became greater and greater, for the LORD of hosts was with him.

10. 10 Now these are the chiefs of Davids mighty men, who gave him strong support in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.

11. 11 This is an account of Davids mighty men: Jashobe-am, a Hachmonite, was chief of the three; he wielded his spear against three hundred whom he slew at one time.

12. 12 And next to him among the three mighty men was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite.

13. 13 He was with David at Pas-dammim when the Philistines were gathered there for battle. There was a plot of ground full of barley, and the men fled from the Philistines.

14. 14 But he took his stand in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great victory.

15. 15 Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David at the cave of Adullam, when the army of Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.

16. 16 David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then at Bethlehem.

17. 17 And David said longingly, "O that some one would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem which is by the gate!"

18. 18 Then the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem which was by the gate, and took and brought it to David. But David would not drink of it; he poured it out to the LORD,

19. 19 and said, "Far be it from me before my God that I should do this. Shall I drink the lifeblood of these men? For at the risk of their lives they brought it." Therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.

20. 20 Now Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the thirty. And he wielded his spear against three hundred men and slew them, and won a name beside the three.

21. 21 He was the most renowned of the thirty, and became their commander; but he did not attain to the three.

22. 22 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was a valiant man of Kabzeel, a doer of great deeds; he smote two ariels of Moab. He also went down and slew a lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen.

23. 23 And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits tall. The Egyptian had in his hand a spear like a weavers beam; but Benaiah went down to him with a staff, and snatched the spear out of the Egyptians hand, and slew him with his own spear.

24. 24 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and won a name beside the three mighty men.

25. 25 He was renowned among the thirty, but he did not attain to the three. And David set him over his bodyguard.
