| 11:1 |
Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we [are] thy bone and thy flesh.
|
| 11:2 |
And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou [wast] he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel.
|
| 11:3 |
Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel.
|
| 11:4 |
And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which [is] Jebus; where the Jebusites [were], the inhabitants of the land.
|
| 11:5 |
And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which [is] the city of David.
|
| 11:6 |
And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.
|
| 11:7 |
And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of David.
|
| 11:8 |
And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
|
| 11:9 |
So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts [was] with him.
|
| 11:10 |
These also [are] the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, [and] with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.
|
| 11:11 |
And this [is] the number of the mighty men whom David had; Jashobeam, an Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain [by him] at one time.
|
| 11:12 |
And after him [was] Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who [was one] of the three mighties.
|
| 11:13 |
He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.
|
| 11:14 |
And they set themselves in the midst of [that] parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved [them] by a great deliverance.
|
| 11:15 |
Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
|
| 11:16 |
And David [was] then in the hold, and the Philistines' garrison [was] then at Bethlehem.
|
| 11:17 |
And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, that [is] at the gate!
|
| 11:18 |
And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that [was] by the gate, and took [it], and brought [it] to David: but David would not drink [of] it, but poured it out to the LORD,
|
| 11:19 |
And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with [the jeopardy of] their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest.
|
| 11:20 |
And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew [them], and had a name among the three.
|
| 11:21 |
Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was their captain: howbeit he attained not to the [first] three.
|
| 11:22 |
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done many acts; he slew two lionlike men of Moab: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day.
|
| 11:23 |
And he slew an Egyptian, a man of [great] stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian's hand [was] a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.
|
| 11:24 |
These [things] did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among the three mighties.
|
| 11:25 |
Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but attained not to the [first] three: and David set him over his guard.
