Глава 11

1. Then all Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron, saying, Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
2. In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel: and Yahweh your God said to you, You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over my people Israel.
3. So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Yahweh; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of Yahweh by Samuel.
4. David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (the same is Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.
5. The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, You shall not come in here. Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David.
6. David said, Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.
7. David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it the city of David.
8. He built the city all around, from Millo even around; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
9. David grew greater and greater; for Yahweh of Armies was with him.
10. Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of Yahweh concerning Israel.
11. This is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty; he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them at one time.
12. After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.
13. He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where there was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.
14. They stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and Yahweh saved them by a great victory.
15. Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines were encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
16. David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
17. David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!
18. The three broke through the army 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 Yahweh,
19. and said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this: shall I drink the blood of these men who 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 the three mighty men.
20. Abishai, the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three; for he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name among the three.
21. Of the three, he was more honorable than the two, and was made their captain: however he didn't attain to the [first] three.
22. Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, he killed the two [sons of] Ariel of Moab: he went down also and killed a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.
23. He killed 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 killed him with his own spear.
24. These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had a name among the three mighty men.
25. Behold, he was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn't attain to the [first] three: and David set him over his guard.
