I Chronicles 11

1Then did all Israel gather themselves together to David, unto Hebron, saying,—Lo! thy bone and thy flesh, are we.

Deuteronomy 17:15, 1 Chronicles 12:23, 1 Chronicles 12:40, Genesis 29:14, Judges 9:2

2Moreover also, in time past even when Saul was king, thou, wast he that led out and brought in Israel,—and Yahweh thy God said unto thee, Thou, shalt shepherd my people Israel, Yea, thou, shalt be chief ruler, over my people Israel.

2 Samuel 5:2, 2 Samuel 5:2, John 10:4, John 10:4, 2 Samuel 7:7

3Thus came all the elders of Israel unto the king, to Hebron, and David solemnised to them a covenant in Hebron, before Yahweh,—and they anointed David to be king over Israel, according to the word of Yahweh, through Samuel.

1 Samuel 16:1, 1 Samuel 16:12, 1 Samuel 16:13, 1 Samuel 16:1, 1 Samuel 16:12

4Then went David and all Israel to Jerusalem, the same, was Jebus,—where were the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land.

Judges 1:21, Judges 1:21, Joshua 15:63, Joshua 15:8, 1 Chronicles 11:5

5And the inhabitants of Jebus said unto David, Thou shalt not come in hither,—But David captured the citadel of Zion, the same, is the city of David.

Hebrews 12:22, Psalms 87:5, 1 Samuel 17:36, Psalms 125:1, Psalms 125:2

6And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites, first, shall become a chief, and a ruler,—So then Joab son of Zeruiah, went up first, and became a chief.

2 Samuel 8:16, 2 Samuel 8:16, 2 Samuel 20:23, 1 Samuel 17:25, Joshua 15:16

7And David dwelt in the citadel,—for this cause, did they call it, The City of David.

2 Samuel 5:7, 1 Chronicles 11:5, Psalms 2:6, 2 Samuel 5:7, 1 Chronicles 11:5

8And he built the city round about, from Millo even as far as the circuit,—but, Joab, suffered the remainder of the city to live.

Judges 9:6, 2 Kings 12:20, 1 Kings 9:15, 1 Kings 11:27, Judges 9:20

9Thus did David wax greater and yet greater,—and, Yahweh of Hosts, was with him.

2 Samuel 3:1, 2 Samuel 3:1, Isaiah 41:10, Isaiah 41:10, Romans 8:31

10Now, these, are the chiefs of the heroes, that pertained to David, who held strongly with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king,—according to the word of Yahweh, concerning Israel.

1 Chronicles 11:3, 1 Chronicles 11:3, 1 Chronicles 12:38, 1 Samuel 16:12, 1 Samuel 16:14

11And, this, is the number of the heroes who pertained to David,—Jashobeam son of a Hachmonite, chief of the thirty, the same, brandished his spear over three hundred—slain at one time.

2 Samuel 23:8, 2 Samuel 23:8, 1 Chronicles 12:18, 1 Chronicles 27:2, 1 Chronicles 12:18

12And, after him, was Eleazar son of Dodai, the Ahohite,—he, was among the three heroes;

1 Chronicles 27:4, 1 Chronicles 27:4, 2 Samuel 23:9, 1 Chronicles 11:19, 1 Chronicles 8:4

13he, was with David in Pas-dammim, where, the Philistines, were gathered together to battle, and there was a field-plot full of barley,—and, the people, fled, from before the Philistines;

2 Samuel 23:11, 2 Samuel 23:12, 1 Samuel 17:1, 2 Samuel 23:11, 2 Samuel 23:12

14so they took their stand in the midst of the plot and rescued it, and smote the Philistines,—and Yahweh wrought a great victory.

Psalms 144:10, Psalms 144:10, Psalms 18:50, Proverbs 21:31, 2 Kings 5:1

15And three of the thirty chiefs went down upon the rock, unto David, into the cave of Adullam,—a host of Philistines, being encamped in the vale of Rephaim.

1 Chronicles 14:9, 1 Chronicles 14:9, Isaiah 17:5, 2 Samuel 5:18, Isaiah 17:5

16Now, David, then was in the stronghold,—and, a garrison of Philistines, then was in Bethlehem.

1 Samuel 10:5, 1 Samuel 10:5, 1 Samuel 13:4, 1 Samuel 13:23, 1 Samuel 13:4

17And David longed, and said—Who will give me to drink of the water, out of the well of Bethlehem, that is within the gate?

2 Samuel 23:15, 2 Samuel 23:16, John 4:14, Isaiah 12:3, John 4:10

18And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was within the gate, and bare it, and brought it in unto David,—yet would not David drink it, but poured it out unto Yahweh;

1 Samuel 7:6, Song of Solomon 8:6, Acts 21:13, 1 Samuel 19:5, 2 Corinthians 5:14

19and said—Far be it from me, of my God, that I should do this! The blood of these men, shall I drink, with their lives? For, with their lives, have they brought it! So he would not drink it. These things, did the three heroes.

2 Samuel 23:17, Psalms 72:14, 2 Samuel 23:17, Psalms 72:14, Mark 14:24

20And, Abishai brother of Joab—he, was the chief of three, he, having brandished his spear against three hundred—who were slain,—and so, he, had a name among three.

1 Samuel 26:6, 1 Samuel 26:6, 2 Samuel 18:2, 2 Samuel 23:18, 2 Samuel 23:39

21Of the three in the second rank, was he honourable, therefore became he their captain,—though, unto the [first] three, did he not attain.

Matthew 13:8, 1 Corinthians 15:41, Matthew 13:8, 1 Corinthians 15:41

22Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, son of a man of valour, hero of many a deed, from Kabziel—he, smote the two [sons] of Ariel of Moab, he, also went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit, in time of snow;

2 Samuel 8:18, Joshua 15:21, 2 Samuel 23:20, 2 Samuel 23:23, 2 Samuel 8:18

23he, also smote an Egyptian, a man of [great] stature, five cubits, and, in the hand of the Egyptian, was a spear like a weaver’s beam, so he went down unto him with a staff,—and wrested the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slew him with his spear.

1 Samuel 17:7, 1 Samuel 17:7, 1 Samuel 17:51, 1 Samuel 17:4, 1 Chronicles 20:5

24These things, did Benaiah son of Jehoiada, so, he, had a name among three heroes.

25Among the thirty, lo! honourable, was he, but, unto the [first] three, did he not attain,—howbeit David set him over his council.

2 Samuel 20:23, 2 Samuel 20:23

26Now, the heroes of the forces, were,—Asahel, brother of Joab, Elhanan, son of Dodo, of Bethlehem;
