Seeker Overlay ON
*
These ,
are the names of the mighty men ,
who belonged to David ,
The president a Tachmonite head of the charioteers ,
the same ,
was Adino the Eznite ,
for eight hundred ,
slain at one time .
*
And ,
after him ,
Eleazar son of Dodo ,
son of Ahohi ,
in the hero-class of mighty men ,
with David ,
when they reproached the Philistines ,
they were gathered together there to battle ,
but the men of Israel had gone up ;
*
he ,
however ,
arose and smote among the Philistines until his hand was weary ,
and his hand clave unto his sword ,
so Yahweh wrought a great victory on that day ,
the people ,
coming back after him ,
only to strip the slain .
*
And ,
after him ,
Shammah son of Agee ,
the Hararite ,
and ,
when the Philistines were gathered together into a troop ,
there being at hand an allotment of field-land full of lentils ,
but ,
the people ,
having fled from the face of the Philistines ,
*
then took he his stand in the midst of the allotment ,
and defended it ,
and smote the Philistines ,
and Yahweh wrought a great victory .
*
And three of the thirty chiefs descended ,
and came in ,
towards harvest ,
unto David ,
unto the cave of Adullam ,
although ,
a troop of Philistines ,
were encamped in the vale of Rephaim ;
*
and ,
David ,
then was in a stronghold ,
and ,
a garrison of Philistines ,
was then in Bethlehem .
*
And David longed ,
and said ,
Who will give me to drink water out of the well of Bethlehem ,
that is within the gate ?
*
And the three mighty men brake through the camp of 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 he not drink ,
but poured it out unto Yahweh ,
*
and said Be it far from me ,
O Yahweh ,
that I should do this !
is it not the blood of the men who went with their lives ?
So he would not drink it .
These things ,
did the three mighty men .
*
And .
Abishai brother of Joab son of Zeruiah ,
he ,
was chief of three ,
in that he brandished his spear against three hundred whom he slew ;
and ,
he ,
had a name among three .
*
Was he not most honourable ,
of the three ,
and so became their captain ?
Nevertheless ,
unto the three ,
he attained not .
*
Benaiah also ,
son of Jehoiadah ,
son of an active man ,
hero of many a deed ,
a man of Kabzeel ,
he ,
smote the two sons of Ariel of Moab ,
he ,
also went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit ,
on a day of snow ;
*
he ,
also smote an Egyptian ,
who was of valiant bearing ,
and ,
in the hand of the Egyptian ,
was a spear ,
but he went down unto him with a staff ,
and wrested the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian ,
and slew him with his own spear .
*
These things ,
did Benaiah son of Jehoiada ,
and ,
he ,
had a name among three mighty men .
*
He was the most honourable ,
of thirty ,
although ,
unto the three ,
he attained no ,
so David added him to his council .
