¹ Then all Israel ^H3478 gathered ^H6908 themselves to David ^H1732 unto Hebron, ^H2275 saying, ^H559 Behold, we are thy bone ^H6106 and thy flesh. ^H1320

² And moreover in time ^H8543 past, ^H8032 even when Saul ^H7586 was king, ^H4428 thou wast he that leddest out ^H3318 and broughtest in ^H935 Israel: ^H3478 and the LORD ^H3068 thy God ^H430 said ^H559 unto thee, Thou shalt feed ^H7462 my people ^H5971 Israel, ^H3478 and thou shalt be ruler ^H5057 over my people ^H5971 Israel. ^H3478

³ Therefore came ^H935 all the elders ^H2205 of Israel ^H3478 to the king ^H4428 to Hebron; ^H2275 and David ^H1732 made ^H3772 a covenant ^H1285 with them in Hebron ^H2275 before ^H6440 the LORD; ^H3068 and they anointed ^H4886 David ^H1732 king ^H4428 over Israel, ^H3478 according to the word ^H1697 of the LORD ^H3068 by ^H3027 Samuel. ^H8050

⁴ And David ^H1732 and all Israel ^H3478 went ^H3212 to Jerusalem, ^H3389 which is Jebus; ^H2982 where the Jebusites ^H2983 were, the inhabitants ^H3427 of the land. ^H776

⁵ And the inhabitants ^H3427 of Jebus ^H2982 said ^H559 to David, ^H1732 Thou shalt not come ^H935 hither. Nevertheless David ^H1732 took ^H3920 the castle ^H4686 of Zion, ^H6726 which is the city ^H5892 of David. ^H1732

⁶ And David ^H1732 said, ^H559 Whosoever smiteth ^H5221 the Jebusites ^H2983 first ^H7223 shall be chief ^H7218 and captain. ^H8269 So Joab ^H3097 the son ^H1121 of Zeruiah ^H6870 went ^H5927 first ^H7223 up, ^H5927 and was chief. ^H7218

⁷ And David ^H1732 dwelt ^H3427 in the castle; ^H4679 therefore they called ^H7121 it the city ^H5892 of David. ^H1732

⁸ And he built ^H1129 the city ^H5892 round about, ^H5439 even from Millo ^H4407 round about: ^H5439 and Joab ^H3097 repaired ^H2421 the rest ^H7605 of the city. ^H5892

⁹ So David ^H1732 waxed ^H3212 greater ^H1980 and greater: ^H1419 for the LORD ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635 was with him.

¹⁰ These also are the chief ^H7218 of the mighty men ^H1368 whom David ^H1732 had, who strengthened ^H2388 themselves with him in his kingdom, ^H4438 and with all Israel, ^H3478 to make him king, ^H4427 according to the word ^H1697 of the LORD ^H3068 concerning Israel. ^H3478

¹¹ And this is the number ^H4557 of the mighty men ^H1368 whom David ^H1732 had; Jashobeam, ^H3434 an Hachmonite, ^H2453 the chief ^H7218 of the captains: ^{H7991 H7970} he lifted up ^H5782 his spear ^H2595 against three ^H7969 hundred ^H3967 slain ^H2491 by him at one ^H259 time. ^H6471

¹² And after ^H310 him was Eleazar ^H499 the son ^H1121 of Dodo, ^H1734 the Ahohite, ^H266 who was one of the three ^H7969 mighties. ^H1368

¹³ He was with David ^H1732 at Pasdammim, ^H6450 and there the Philistines ^H6430 were gathered together ^H622 to battle, ^H4421 where was a parcel ^H2513 of ground ^H7704 full ^H4392 of barley; ^H8184 and the people ^H5971 fled ^H5127 from before ^H6440 the Philistines. ^H6430

¹⁴ And they set ^H3320 themselves in the midst ^H8432 of that parcel, ^H2513 and delivered ^H5337 it, and slew ^H5221 the Philistines; ^H6430 and the LORD ^H3068 saved ^H3467 them by a great ^H1419 deliverance. ^H8668

¹⁵ Now three ^H7969 of the thirty ^H7970 captains ^H7218 went down ^H3381 to the rock ^H6697 to David, ^H1732 into the cave ^H4631 of Adullam; ^H5725 and the host ^H4264 of the Philistines ^H6430 encamped ^H2583 in the valley ^H6010 of Rephaim. ^H7497

¹⁶ And David ^H1732 was then in the hold, ^H4686 and the Philistines' ^H6430 garrison ^H5333 was then at Bethlehem. ^H1035

¹⁷ And David ^H1732 longed, ^H183 and said, ^H559 Oh that one would give me drink ^H8248 of the water ^H4325 of the well ^H953 of Bethlehem, ^H1035 that is at the gate! ^H8179

¹⁸ And the three ^H7969 brake through ^H1234 the host ^H4264 of the Philistines, ^H6430 and drew ^H7579 water ^H4325 out of the well ^H953 of Bethlehem, ^H1035 that was by the gate, ^H8179 and took ^H5375 it, and brought ^H935 it to David: ^H1732 but David ^H1732 would ^H14 not drink ^H8354 of it, but poured it out ^H5258 to the LORD, ^H3068

¹⁹ And said, ^H559 My God ^H430 forbid ^H2486 it me, that I should do ^H6213 this thing: ^H2063 shall I drink ^H8354 the blood ^H1818 of these men ^H582 that have put their lives in jeopardy? ^H5315 for with the jeopardy of their lives ^H5315 they brought ^H935 it. Therefore he would ^H14 not drink ^H8354 it. These things did ^H6213 these three ^H7969 mightiest. ^H1368

²⁰ And Abishai ^H52 the brother ^H251 of Joab, ^H3097 he was chief ^H7218 of the three: ^H7969 for lifting up ^H5782 his spear ^H2595 against three ^H7969 hundred, ^H3967 he slew ^H2491 them, and had a name ^H8034 among the three. ^H7969

²¹ Of the three, ^H7969 he was more honourable ^H3513 than the two; ^H8147 for he was their captain: ^H8269 howbeit he attained ^H935 not to the first three. ^H7969

²² Benaiah ^H1141 the son ^H1121 of Jehoiada, ^H3077 the son ^H1121 of a valiant ^H2428 man ^H376 of Kabzeel, ^H6909 who had done many ^H7227 acts; ^H6467 he slew ^H5221 two ^H8147 lionlike men ^H739 of Moab: ^H4124 also he went down ^H3381 and slew ^H5221 a lion ^H738 in ^H8432 a pit ^H953 in a snowy ^H7950 day. ^H3117

²³ And he slew ^H5221 an Egyptian, ^H4713 a man ^H376 of great stature, ^H4060 five ^H2568 cubits ^H520 high; and in the Egyptian's ^H4713 hand ^H3027 was a spear ^H2595 like a weaver's ^H707 beam; ^H4500 and he went down ^H3381 to him with a staff, ^H7626 and plucked ^H1497 the spear ^H2595 out of the Egyptian's ^H4713 hand, ^H3027 and slew ^H2026 him with his own spear. ^H2595

²⁴ These things did ^H6213 Benaiah ^H1141 the son ^H1121 of Jehoiada, ^H3077 and had the name ^H8034 among the three ^H7969 mighties. ^H1368

²⁵ Behold, ^H2009 he was honourable ^H3513 among the thirty, ^H7970 but attained ^H935 not to the first three: ^H7969 and David ^H1732 set ^H7760 him over his guard. ^H4928

²⁶ Also the valiant men ^H1368 of the armies ^H2428 were, Asahel ^H6214 the brother ^H251 of Joab, ^H3097 Elhanan ^H445 the son ^H1121 of Dodo ^H1734 of Bethlehem, ^H1035
