* Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron , saying , Behold , we are thy bone and thy flesh . * And moreover in time past , even when Saul was king , thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel Yisra #el #: and the LORD thy God said unto thee , Thou shalt feed my people Israel Yisra #el #, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel Yisra #el #. * 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 Yisra #el #, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel Sh @muw #el #. * And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem , which is Jebus ; where the Jebusites were , the inhabitants of the land . * 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 . * And David said , Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain . So Joab the son of Zeruiah wentfirst up , and was chief ro #sh #. * And David dwelt in the castle ; therefore they called it the city of David . * And he built the city round about , even from Millo round about : and Joab repaired the rest of the city . * So David waxed greater and greater : for the LORD of hosts was with him . * These also are the chief of the mighty men whom David had , who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom , and with all Israel Yisra #el #, to make him king , according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel Yisra #el #. * And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had ; Jashobeam Yashob #am #, an Hachmonite , the chief of the captains : he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain by him at one time pa #am #. * And after him was Eleazar #El #azar # the son of Dodo , the Ahohite , who was one of the three mighties . * He was with David at Pasdammim Pac , and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle , where was a parcel of ground full of barley s @#orah #; and the people fled from before the Philistines . * 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 t @shuw #ah #. * 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 . * And David was then in the hold , and the Philistines garrison was then at Bethlehem Beyth . * And David longed , and said , Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem Beyth , that is at the gate sha #ar #! * And the three brake through the host of the Philistines , and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem Beyth , that was by the gate sha #ar #, and took it , and brought it to David : but David would not drink of it , but poured it out to the LORD , * And said , My God forbid it me , that I should do this thing zo #th #: 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 . * And Abishai the brother of Joab Yow #ab #, he was chief of the three : for lifting up his spear against three hundred me #ah #, he slew them , and had a name among the three . * Of the three , he was more honourable than the two ; for he was their captain : howbeit he attained not to the first three . * Benaiah the son of Jehoiada , the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel Qabts @#el #, who had done many acts po #al #; he slew two lionlike men #ariy #el # of Moab Mow #ab #: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day . * And he slew an Egyptian , a man of great stature , five cubits high ; and in the Egyptians hand was a spear like a weavers beam ; and he went down to him with a staff , and plucked the spear out of the Egyptians hand , and slew him with his own spear . * These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada , and had the name among the three mighties . * Behold , he was honourable among the thirty , but attained not to the first three : and David set him over his guard mishma #ath #. * Also the valiant men of the armies were , Asahel #Asah #el # the brother of Joab Yow #ab #, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem Beyth , * Shammoth the Harorite , Helez the Pelonite , * Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite T @qow #iy #, Abiezer #Abiy #ezer # the Antothite , * Sibbecai the Hushathite , Ilai the Ahohite , * Maharai the Netophathite , Heled the son of Baanah the Netophathite , * Ithai the son of Ribai of Gibeah Gib #ah #, that pertained to the children of Benjamin , Benaiah the Pirathonite Pir #athowniy #, * Hurai of the brooks of Gaash Ga #ash #, Abiel #Abiy #el # the Arbathite , * Azmaveth the Baharumite , Eliahba the Shaalbonite Sha #alboniy #, * The sons of Hashem the Gizonite , Jonathan the son of Shage the Hararite , * Ahiam the son of Sacar the Hararite , Eliphal the son of Ur , * Hepher the Mecherathite , Ahijah the Pelonite , * Hezro the Carmelite , Naarai the son of Ezbai , * Joel the brother of Nathan , Mibhar the son of Haggeri , * Zelek the Ammonite , Naharai the Berothite , the armourbearer of Joab the son of Zeruiah , * Ira the Ithrite , Gareb the Ithrite , * Uriah the Hittite , Zabad the son of Ahlai , * Adina the son of Shiza the Reubenite R @#uwbeniy #, a captain of the Reubenites R @#uwbeniy #, and thirty with him , * Hanan the son of Maachah Ma #akah #, and Joshaphat the Mithnite , * Uzzia the Ashterathite #Asht @rathiy #, Shama and Jehiel Y @#iy #el # the sons of Hothan the Aroerite #Aro #eriy #, * Jediael Y @diy #a #el # the son of Shimri , and Joha his brother , the Tizite , * Eliel #Eliy #el # the Mahavite , and Jeribai , and Joshaviah , the sons of Elnaam #Elna #am #, and Ithmah the Moabite Mow #abiy #, * Eliel #Eliy #el #, and Obed , and Jasiel Ya #asiy #el # the Mesobaite .
