1 Chronicles 11 — YLT

11Verse 1And gathered are all Israel unto David to Hebron, saying, 'Lo, thy bone and thy flesh [are] we;^{Verse 2}even in time past, even in Saul's being king, it is thou who art taking out and bringing in Israel, and Jehovah thy God saith to thee: Thou dost feed My people Israel, and thou art leader over My people Israel.'^{Verse 3}And all the elders of Israel come in unto the king to Hebron, and David maketh with them a covenant in Hebron before Jehovah, and they anoint David for king over Israel, according to the word of Jehovah by the hand of Samuel.^{Verse 4}And David goeth, and all Israel, to Jerusalem — it [is] Jebus — and there the Jebusite, the inhabitants of the land.^{Verse 5}And the inhabitants of Jebus say to David, 'Thou dost not come in hither;' and David captureth the fortress of Zion — it [is] the city of David.^{Verse 6}And David saith, 'Whoever smiteth the Jebusite first doth become head and prince;' and go up first doth Joab son of Zeruiah and becometh head.^{Verse 7}And David dwelleth in the fortress, therefore they have called it, 'City of David;'^{Verse 8}and he buildeth the city round about, from Millo, and unto the circumference, and Joab restoreth the rest of the city.^{Verse 9}And David goeth, going on and becoming great, and Jehovah of Hosts [is] with him.^{Verse 10}And these [are] heads of the mighty ones whom David hath, who are strengthening themselves with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to cause him to reign, according to the word of Jehovah, over Israel.^{Verse 11}And this [is] an account of the mighty ones whom David hath: Jashobeam son of a Hachmonite [is] head of the thirty; he is lifting up his spear against three hundred — wounded, at one time.^{Verse 12}And after him [is] Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite, he [is] among the three mighty;^{Verse 13}he hath been with David in Pas-Dammim, and the Philistines have been gathered there to battle, and a portion of the field is full of barley, and the people have fled from the face of the Philistines,^{Verse 14}and they station themselves in the midst of the portion, and deliver it, and smite the Philistines, and Jehovah saveth — a great salvation.^{Verse 15}And three of the thirty heads go down on the rock unto David, unto the cave of Adullam, and the host of the Philistines is encamping in the valley of Rephaim,^{Verse 16}and David [is] then in the fortress, and the station of the Philistines [is] then in Beth-Lehem,^{Verse 17}and David longeth, and saith, 'Who doth give me to drink water from the well of Beth-Lehem, that [is] at the gate!'^{Verse 18}And the three break through the camp of the Philistines, and draw water from the well of Beth-Lehem, that [is] at the gate, and bear and bring in unto David, and David hath not been willing to drink it, and poureth it out to Jehovah,^{Verse 19}and saith, 'Far be it from me, by my God, to do this; the blood of these men do I drink with their lives? for with their lives they have brought it;' and he was not willing to drink it; these [things] did the three mighty ones.^{Verse 20}And Abishai brother of Joab, he hath been head of the three: and he is lifting up his spear against three hundred — wounded, and hath a name among three.^{Verse 21}Of the three by the two he is honoured, and becometh their head; and unto the [first] three he hath not come.^{Verse 22}Benaiah son of Jehoiada, son of a man of valour, of great deeds, from Kabzeel: he hath smitten the two lion-like Moabites, and he hath gone down and smitten the lion in the midst of the pit, in the day of snow.^{Verse 23}And he hath smitten the man, the Egyptian — a man of measure, five by the cubit — and in the hand of the Egyptian [is] a spear like a beam of weavers, and he goeth down unto him with a rod, and taketh violently away the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slayeth him with his own spear.^{Verse 24}These [things] hath Benaiah son of Jehoiada done, and hath a name among the three mighty ones.^{Verse 25}Of the thirty, lo, he [is] honoured, and unto the [first] three he hath not come, and David setteth him over his guard.^{Verse 26}And the mighty ones of the forces [are] Asahel brother of Joab, Elhanan son of Dodo of Beth-Lehem,^{Verse 27}Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite,^{Verse 28}Ira son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abi-Ezer the Annethothite,^{Verse 29}Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite,^{Verse 30}Maharai the Netophathite, Heled son of Baanah the Netophathite,^{Verse 31}Ithai son of Ribai of Gibeah, of the sons of Benjamin, Benaiah the Pirathonite,^{Verse 32}Hurai of the brooks of Gaash, Abiel the Arbathite,^{Verse 33}Azmaveth the Baharumite, Eliahba the Shaalbonite,^{Verse 34}the sons of Hashem the Gizonite, Jonathan son of Shage the Hararite,^{Verse 35}Ahiam son of Sacar the Hararite, Eliphal son of Ur,^{Verse 36}Hepher the Mecherathite, Ahijah the Pelonite,^{Verse 37}Hezor the Carmelite, Naarai son of Ezbai,^{Verse 38}Joel brother of Nathan, Mibhar son of Haggeri,^{Verse 39}Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Berothite, bearer of the weapons of Joab son of Zeruiah,^{Verse 40}Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite,^{Verse 41}Uriah the Hittite, Zabad son of Ahlai,^{Verse 42}Adina son of Shiza the Reubenite, head of the Reubenites, and by him thirty,^{Verse 43}Hanan son of Maachah, and Joshaphat the Mithnite,^{Verse 44}Uzzia the Ashterathite, Shama and Jehiel sons of Hothan the Aroerite,^{Verse 45}Jediael son of Shimri, and Joha his brother the Tizite,^{Verse 46}Eliel the Mahavite, and Jeribai, and Joshaviah, sons of Elnaam, and Ithmah the Moabite,^{Verse 47}Eliel, and Obed, and Jaasiel the Mesobaite.
