CHAPTER 11 David Anointed King

1 And [⁴gathered together ¹every ²man ³of Israel] to David in Hebron, saying, Behold, [²of your bones ³and ⁴of your flesh ¹we are]. 2 And indeed yesterday and indeed the third day before in Saul being king, you were the one bringing in and leading out Israel. And [³said ¹the lord ²your God] to you, You tend my people Israel, and you shall be for leader over my people Israel. 3 And [⁴came ¹all ²the elders ³of Israel] to the king in Hebron. And [³ordained ⁴with them ¹king ²David] a covenant in Hebron before the lord. And they anointed David for king over Israel, according to the word of the lord through the hand of Samuel. 4 And [⁶went ¹king ²David ³and ⁴all ⁵Israel] into Jerusalem -- this is Jebus. And [³were there ¹the ²Jebusites], the ones dwelling the land 5 And [⁴said ¹the ones ²dwelling ³Jebus] to David, You shall not enter here. And [²was first to take ¹David] the citadel of Zion -- this is the city of David. 6 And David said, Anyone beating the Jebusites at first, he will be as a ruler and as commandant. And [⁴ascended ⁵against ⁶them ¹Joab ²son ³of Zeruiah] at first, and he became as a ruler. 7 And David stayed in the citadel; because of this he called it, City of David. 8 And he built the city round about from the Akra and unto the circuit. And Joab procured the rest of the city. 9 And David went going and being magnified. And the lord almighty was with him. 10 And these are the rulers of the mighty ones, the ones who were with David, the ones growing strong with him in his kingdom with all Israel, to give him reign, according to the word of the lord over Israel.

David's Mighty Men

11 And this is the number of the mighty ones of David -- Jashobeam son of a Hachmonite, first of the thirty; this one unsheathed his broadsword upon three hundred slain at [²time ¹one]. 12 And after him -- Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite -- this one was among the three mighty ones. 13 This one was with David in Pas-dammin, and the Philistines were gathered together there for war, and there was a portion of a field full of barley, and the people fled from the face of the Philistines. 14 And he stood in the midst of the portion and, delivered it, and he struck the Philistines. And the lord performed [²deliverance ¹a great]. 15 And there went down three of the thirty rulers to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the camp of the Philistines pitched in the valley of the giants. 16 And David was then in the citadel, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Beth-lehem. 17 And David desired, and he said, Who will give me a drink of water from the well at Beth-lehem, the one at the gate? 18 And [³tore up ¹the ²three] the camp of the Philistines, and they drew water from the well of Beth-lehem, which was at the gate, and they took it, and came to David. And [²did not ³want ¹David] to drink it. And he gave it as a libation to the lord, 19 and he said, Kindness to me, O God, to do this thing. Shall [²blood ³of these men ¹I drink] with their lives, no. For with their lives they brought it, and I do not want to drink it. These things [⁴did ¹the ²three ³mighty men]. 20 And Abishai the brother of Joab, this one was ruler of the three. This one unsheathed his broadsword against three hundred slain at [²time ¹one]; this one was famous among the other three. 21 Of the three [²above ³the ⁴two ¹he was more honorable], and he became to them as a ruler, but unto the first three he arrived not at. 22 And Benaiah, son of Jehoiada son [²man ¹of a mighty] (many were his works) from Kabzeel; he struck the two lion-like ones of Moab; also this one went down and struck the lion in the pit in the day of snow. 23 And this one struck the Egyptian man, a man [²tall ¹five cubits]; and in the hand of the Egyptian was a spear as the beam of a loom of one weaving. And [²went ³against ⁴him ¹Benaiah] with a rod, and removed the spear from the hand of the Egyptian, and he killed him by his spear. 24 These things [⁴did ¹Benaiah ²son ³of Jehoiada]. And to this one was a name among the three mighty ones. 25 [⁴above ⁵the ⁶thirty ²was ³honored ¹He], but to the first three he did not arrive. And [²placed ³him ¹David] over his family. 26 And the mighty ones of power -- Asahel brother of Joab, Elhanan son of Dodo from Beth-lehem, 27 Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite, 28 Ira son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abi-ezer the Antothite, 29 Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite, 30 Maharai the Netophathite, Heled son of Baanah the Netophathite, 31 Ithai son of Ribai of Gibeah of the sons of Benjamin, Benaiah the Pirathonite, 32 Hurai from Nachali Gaash, Abiel the Arbathite, 33 Azmaveth the Baharumite, Eliahba the Shaalbonite, 34 sons of Hashem the Gizonite, Jonathan son of Shage the Hararite, 35 Ahiam son of Sacar the Hararite, Eliphal son of Ur, 36 Hepher the Mecherathite, Ahijah the Pelonite, 37 Hezro the Carmelite, Naarai the son of Ezbai, 38 Joel brother of Nathan, Mibhar son of Haggeri, 39 Zelek the Ammonite, Naarai the Berothite, one carrying the weapons of Joab son of Zeruiah, 40 Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite, 41 Uriah the Hittite, Zabad son of Ahlai, 42 Adina son of Shiza the Reubenite, ruler to Reuben, and with him thirty. 43 Hanan son of Maachah, and Joshaphat the Mithnite, 44 Uzzia the Asterathite, Shama and Jehiel sons of Hothan the Aroerite, 45 Jediael son of Shimri, and Joha his brother, the Tizite, 46 Eliel the Mahavite, and Jeribai and Joshaviah the sons of Elnaam, and Ithma the Moabite, 47 Eliel, and Obed, and Jasiel the Mesobaite.
