2SA-23:1 Now these [be] the last words of David. David the son
of Jesse said, and the man [who was] raised up on high, the
anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel,
said,
2SA-23:2 The spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word [was]
in my tongue.
2SA-23:3 The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me,
He that ruleth over men [must be] just, ruling in the fear of
God.
2SA-23:4 And [he shall be] as the light of the morning, [when]
the sun riseth, [even] a morning without clouds; [as] the tender
grass [springing] out of the earth by clear shining after rain.
2SA-23:5 Although my house [be] not so with God; yet he hath
made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all [things],
and sure: for [this is] all my salvation, and all [my] desire,
although he make [it] not to grow.
2SA-23:6 But [the sons] of Belial [shall be] all of them as
thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:
2SA-23:7 But the man [that] shall touch them must be fenced with
iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned
with fire in the [same] place.
2SA-23:8 These [be] the names of the mighty men whom David had:
The Tachmonite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains;
the same [was] Adino the Eznite: [he lift up his spear] against
eight hundred, whom he slew at one time.
2SA-23:9 And after him [was] Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite,
[one] of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the
Philistines [that] were there gathered together to battle, and
the men of Israel were gone away:
2SA-23:10 He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was
weary, and his hand clave unto the sword: and the LORD wrought a
great victory that day; and the people returned after him only
to spoil.
2SA-23:11 And after him [was] Shammah the son of Agee the
Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a
troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentiles: and the
people fled from the Philistines.
2SA-23:12 But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended
it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great
victory.
2SA-23:13 And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to
David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam: and the
troop of the Philistines pitched in the valley of Rephaim.
2SA-23:14 And David [was] then in an hold, and the garrison of
the Philistines [was] then [in] Bethlehem.
2SA-23:15 And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me
drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which [is] by the
gate!
2SA-23:16 And the three mighty men 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:
nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto
the LORD.
2SA-23:17 And he said, Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should
do this: [is not this] the blood of the men that went in
jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These
things did these three mighty men.
2SA-23:18 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah,
was chief among three. And he lifted up his spear against three
hundred, [and] slew [them], and had the name among three.
2SA-23:19 Was he not most honourable of three? therefore he was
their captain: howbeit he attained not unto the [first] three.
2SA-23:20 And 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: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a
pit in time of snow:
2SA-23:21 And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man: and the
Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but 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.
2SA-23:22 These [things] did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and
had the name among three mighty men.
2SA-23:23 He was more honourable than the thirty, but he
attained not to the [first] three. And David set him over his
guard.
2SA-23:24 Asahel the brother of Joab [was] one of the thirty;
Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,
2SA-23:25 Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite,
2SA-23:26 Helez the Paltite, Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite,
2SA-23:27 Abiezer the Anethothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite,
2SA-23:28 Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite,
2SA-23:29 Heleb the son of Baanah, a Netophathite, Ittai the son
of Ribai out of Gibeah of the children of Benjamin,
2SA-23:30 Benaiah the Pirathonite, Hiddai of the brooks of Gaash,
2SA-23:31 Abialbon the Arbathite, Azmaveth the Barhumite,
2SA-23:32 Eliahba the Shaalbonite, of the sons of Jashen,
Jonathan,
2SA-23:33 Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam the son of Sharar the
Hararite,
2SA-23:34 Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai, the son of the
Maachathite, Eliam the son of Ahithophel the Gilonite,
2SA-23:35 Hezrai the Carmelite, Paarai the Arbite,
2SA-23:36 Igal the son of Nathan of Zobah, Bani the Gadite,
2SA-23:37 Zelek the Ammonite, Nahari the Beerothite,
armourbearer to Joab the son of Zeruiah,
2SA-23:38 Ira an Ithrite, Gareb an Ithrite,
2SA-23:39 Uriah the Hittite: thirty and seven in all.
