11:1 Then all Israel 3478 gathered 6908 8735 themselves to David 1732 unto Hebron 2275, saying 559 8800, Behold, we [are] thy bone 6106 and thy flesh 1320.

11:2 And moreover in time 8543 past 8032, even when Saul 7586 was king 4428, thou [wast] he that leddest out 3318 8688 and broughtest in 935 8688 Israel 3478: and the LORD 3068 thy God 430 said 559 8799 unto thee, Thou shalt feed 7462 8799 my people 5971 Israel 3478, and thou shalt be ruler 5057 over my people 1571 Israel 3478.(in time…: Heb. both yesterday and the third day)(feed: or, rule)

11:3 Therefore came 935 8799 all the elders 2205 of Israel 3478 to the king 4428 to Hebron 2275; and David 1732 made 3772 8799 a covenant 1285 with them in Hebron 2275 before 6440 the LORD 3068; and they anointed 4886 8799 David 1732 king 4428 over Israel 3478, according to the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 by 3027 Samuel 8050.(by: Heb. by the hand of)

11:4 And David 1732 and all Israel 3478 went 3212 8799 to Jerusalem 3389, which [is] Jebus 2982; where the Jebusites 2983 [were], the inhabitants 3427 8802 of the land 776.

11:5 And the inhabitants 3427 8802 of Jebus 2982 said 559 8799 to David 1732, Thou shalt not come 935 8799 hither. Nevertheless David 1732 took 3920 8799 the castle 4686 of Zion 6726, which [is] the city 5892 of David 1732.

11:6 And David 1732 said 559 8799, Whosoever smiteth 5221 8688 the Jebusites 2983 first 7223 shall be chief 7218 and captain 8269. So Joab 3097 the son 1121 of Zeruiah 6870 went 5927 0 first 7223 up 5927 8799, and was chief 7218.(chief: Heb. head)

11:7 And David 1732 dwelt 3427 8799 in the castle 4679; therefore they called 7121 8804 it the city 5892 of David 1732.(it: that is, Zion)

11:8 And he built 1129 8799 the city 5892 round about 5439, even from Millo 4407 round about 5439: and Joab 3097 repaired 2421 8762 the rest 7605 of the city 5892.(repaired: Heb. revived)

11:9 So David 1732 waxed 3212 8799 greater 1980 8800 and greater 1419: for the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 [was] with him.(waxed…: Heb. went in going and increasing)

11:10 These also [are] the chief 7218 of the mighty men 1368 whom David 1732 had, who strengthened 2388 8693 themselves with him in his kingdom 4438, [and] with all Israel 3478, to make him king 4427 8687, according to the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 concerning Israel 3478.(strengthened…: or, held strongly with him)

11:11 And this [is] the number 4557 of the mighty men 1368 whom David 1732 had; Jashobeam 3434, an Hachmonite 2453, the chief 7218 of the captains 7991 8675 7970: he lifted up 5782 8790 his spear 2595 against three 7969 hundred 3967 slain 2491 [by him] at one 259 time 6471.(an Hachmonite: or, son of Hachmoni)

11:12 And after 310 him [was] Eleazar 499 the son 1121 of Dodo 1734, the Ahohite 266, who [was one] of the three 7969 mighties 1368.

11:13 He was with David 1732 at Pasdammim 6450, and there the Philistines 6430 were gathered together 622 8738 to battle 4421, where was a parcel 2513 of ground 7704 full 4392 of barley 8184; and the people 5971 fled 5127 8804 from before 6440 the Philistines 6430.(Pasdammim: also called, Ephesdammim I.Sam.17.1.)

11:14 And they set 3320 8691 themselves in the midst 8432 of [that] parcel 2513, and delivered 5337 8686 it, and slew 5221 8686 the Philistines 6430; and the LORD 3068 saved 3467 8686 [them] by a great 1419 deliverance 8668.(set…: or, stood)(deliverance: or, salvation)

11:15 Now three 7969 of the thirty 7970 captains 7218 went down 3381 8799 to the rock 6697 to David 1732, into the cave 4631 of Adullam 5725; and the host 4264 of the Philistines 6430 encamped 2583 8802 in the valley 6010 of Rephaim 7497.(three…: or, three captains over the thirty)

11:16 And David 1732 [was] then in the hold 4686, and the Philistines' 6430 garrison 5333 [was] then at Bethlehem 1035.

11:17 And David 1732 longed 183 8691, and said 559 8799, Oh that one would give me drink 8248 8686 of the water 4325 of the well 953 of Bethlehem 1035, that [is] at the gate 8179!

11:18 And the three 7969 brake through 1234 8799 the host 4264 of the Philistines 6430, and drew 7579 8799 water 4325 out of the well 953 of Bethlehem 1035, that [was] by the gate 8179, and took 5375 8799 [it], and brought 935 8686 [it] to David 1732: but David 1732 would 14 8804 not drink 8354 8800 [of] it, but poured it out 5258 8762 to the LORD 3068,

11:19 And said 559 8799, My God 430 forbid 2486 it me, that I should do 6213 8800 this thing 2063: shall I drink 8354 8799 the blood 1818 of these men 582 that have put their lives in jeopardy 5315? for with [the jeopardy of] their lives 5315 they brought 935 8689 it. Therefore he would 14 8804 not drink 8354 8800 it. These things did 6213 8804 these three 7969 mightiest 1368.(that have…: Heb. with their lives?)

11:20 And Abishai 52 the brother 251 of Joab 3097, he was chief 7218 of the three 7969: for lifting up 5782 8790 his spear 2595 against three 7969 hundred 3967, he slew 2491 [them], and had a name 8034 among the three 7969.

11:21 Of the three 7969, he was more honourable 3513 8737 than the two 8147; for he was their captain 8269: howbeit he attained 935 8804 not to the [first] three 7969.

11:22 Benaiah 1141 the son 1121 of Jehoiada 3077, the son 1121 of a valiant 2428 man 376 of Kabzeel 6909, who had done many 7227 acts 6467; he slew 5221 8689 two 8147 lionlike men 739 of Moab 4124: also he went down 3381 8804 and slew 5221 8689 a lion 738 in 8432 a pit 953 in a snowy 7950 day 3117.(who had…: Heb. great of deeds)

11:23 And he slew 5221 8689 an Egyptian 4713, a man 376 of [great] stature 4060, five 2568 cubits 520 high; and in the Egyptian's 4713 hand 3027 [was] a spear 2595 like a weaver's 707 8802 beam 4500; and he went down 3381 8799 to him with a staff 7626, and plucked 1497 8799 the spear 2595 out of the Egyptian's 4713 hand 3027, and slew 2026 8799 him with his own spear 2595.(great…: Heb. measure)

11:24 These [things] did 6213 8804 Benaiah 1141 the son 1121 of Jehoiada 3077, and had the name 8034 among the three 7969 mighties 1368.

11:25 Behold 2009, he was honourable 3513 8737 among the thirty 7970, but attained 935 8804 not to the [first] three 7969: and David 1732 set 7760 8799 him over his guard 4928.
