13_1CH

1CH-11:1 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto

Hebron, saying, Behold, we [are] thy bone and thy flesh.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-11:4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which [is]

Jebus; where the Jebusites [were], the inhabitants of the land.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-11:7 And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it

the city of David.

1CH-11:8 And he built the city round about, even from Millo

round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

1CH-11:9 So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of

hosts [was] with him.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-11:12 And after him [was] Eleazar the son of Dodo, the

Ahohite, who [was one] of the three mighties.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-11:16 And David [was] then in the hold, and the Philistines'

garrison [was] then at Bethlehem.

1CH-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!

1CH-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,

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-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.

1CH-11:24 These [things] did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and

had the name among the three mighties.

1CH-11:25 Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but

attained not to the [first] three: and David set him over his

guard.

1CH-11:26 Also the valiant men of the armies [were], Asahel the

brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

1CH-11:27 Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite,

1CH-11:28 Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abiezer the

Antothite,

1CH-11:29 Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite,

1CH-11:30 Maharai the Netophathite, Heled the son of Baanah the

Netophathite,

1CH-11:31 Ithai the son of Ribai of Gibeah, [that pertained] to

the children of Benjamin, Benaiah the Pirathonite,

1CH-11:32 Hurai of the brooks of Gaash, Abiel the Arbathite,

1CH-11:33 Azmaveth the Baharumite, Eliahba the Shaalbonite,

1CH-11:34 The sons of Hashem the Gizonite, Jonathan the son of

Shage the Hararite,

of Ur,

1CH-11:39 Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Berothite, the

armourbearer of Joab the son of Zeruiah,

1CH-11:40 Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite,

1CH-11:41 Uriah the Hittite, Zabad the son of Ahlai,

1CH-11:42 Adina the son of Shiza the Reubenite, a captain of the

Reubenites, and thirty with him,

1CH-11:43 Hanan the son of Maachah, and Joshaphat the Mithnite,

1CH-11:44 Uzzia the Ashterathite, Shama and Jehiel the sons of

Hothan the Aroerite,

1CH-11:45 Jediael the son of Shimri, and Joha his brother, the

Tizite,

1CH-11:46 Eliel the Mahavite, and Jeribai, and Joshaviah, the

sons of Elnaam, and Ithmah the Moabite,

1CH-11:47 Eliel, and Obed, and Jasiel the Mesobaite.
