1Then all Israel gathered together to David at Hebron and said, “Behold, we are your bone and flesh.1וַיִּקָּבְצ֧וּ כָֽל־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל אֶל־ דָּוִ֖יד חֶבְר֣וֹנָה לֵאמֹ֑ר הִנֵּ֛ה עַצְמְךָ֥ וּֽבְשָׂרְךָ֖ אֲנָֽחְנוּ׃
2In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. And the LORD your God said to you, ‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over my people Israel.’”2גַּם־ תְּמ֣וֹל גַּם־ שִׁלְשׁ֗וֹם גַּ֚ם בִּהְי֣וֹת שָׁא֣וּל מֶ֔לֶךְ אַתָּ֛ה הַמּוֹצִ֥יא וְהַמֵּבִ֖יא אֶת־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיֹּאמֶר֩ יְהוָ֨ה אֱלֹהֶ֜יךָ לְךָ֗ אַתָּ֨ה תִרְעֶ֤ה אֶת־ עַמִּי֙ אֶת־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְאַתָּה֙ תִּהְיֶ֣ה נָגִ֔יד עַ֖ל עַמִּ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
3So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD. And they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel.3וַ֠יָּבֹאוּ כָּל־ זִקְנֵ֨י יִשְׂרָאֵ֤ל אֶל־ הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ חֶבְר֔וֹנָה וַיִּכְרֹת֩ לָהֶ֨ם דָּוִ֥יד בְּרִ֛ית בְּחֶבְר֖וֹן לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וַיִּמְשְׁח֨וּ אֶת־ דָּוִ֤יד לְמֶ֙לֶךְ֙ עַל־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל כִּדְבַ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה בְּיַד־ שְׁמוּאֵֽל׃ ס
4And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, that is, Jebus, where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.4וַיֵּ֨לֶךְ דָּוִ֧יד וְכָל־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם הִ֣יא יְב֑וּס וְשָׁם֙ הַיְבוּסִ֔י יֹשְׁבֵ֖י הָאָֽרֶץ׃
5The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will not come in here.” Nevertheless, David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David.5וַיֹּ֨אמְר֜וּ יֹשְׁבֵ֤י יְבוּס֙ לְדָוִ֔יד לֹ֥א תָב֖וֹא הֵ֑נָּה וַיִּלְכֹּ֤ד דָּוִיד֙ אֶת־ מְצֻדַ֣ת צִיּ֔וֹן הִ֖יא עִ֥יר דָּוִֽיד׃
6David said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and commander.” And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief.6וַיֹּ֣אמֶר דָּוִ֔יד כָּל־ מַכֵּ֤ה יְבוּסִי֙ בָּרִ֣אשׁוֹנָ֔ה יִהְיֶ֥ה לְרֹ֖אשׁ וּלְשָׂ֑ר וַיַּ֧עַל בָּרִאשׁוֹנָ֛ה יוֹאָ֥ב בֶּן־ צְרוּיָ֖ה וַיְהִ֥י לְרֹֽאשׁ׃
7And David lived in the stronghold; therefore it was called the city of David.7וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב דָּוִ֖יד בַּמְצָ֑ד עַל־ כֵּ֥ן קָרְאוּ־ ל֖וֹ עִ֥יר דָּוִֽיד׃
8And he built the city all around from the Millo in complete circuit, and Joab repaired the rest of the city.8וַיִּ֤בֶן הָעִיר֙ מִסָּבִ֔יב מִן־ הַמִּלּ֖וֹא וְעַד־ הַסָּבִ֑יב וְיוֹאָ֕ב יְחַיֶּ֖ה אֶת־ שְׁאָ֥ר הָעִֽיר׃
9And David became greater and greater, for the LORD of hosts was with him.9וַיֵּ֥לֶךְ דָּוִ֖יד הָל֣וֹךְ וְגָד֑וֹל וַיהוָ֥ה צְבָא֖וֹת עִמּֽוֹ׃ פ
10Now these are the chiefs of David’s mighty men, who gave him strong support in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.10וְאֵ֨לֶּה רָאשֵׁ֤י הַגִּבּוֹרִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לְדָוִ֔יד הַמִּתְחַזְּקִ֨ים עִמּ֧וֹ בְמַלְכוּת֛וֹ עִם־ כָּל־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לְהַמְלִיכ֑וֹ כִּדְבַ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה עַל־ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ ס
11This is an account of David’s mighty men: Jashobeam, a Hachmonite, was chief of the three. He wielded his spear against 300 whom he killed at one time.11וְאֵ֛לֶּה מִסְפַּ֥ר הַגִּבֹּרִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר לְדָוִ֑יד יָשָׁבְעָ֣ם בֶּן־ חַכְמוֹנִ֗י רֹ֚אשׁ [השלושים] (הַשָּׁ֣לִישִׁ֔ים) הֽוּא־ עוֹרֵ֧ר אֶת־ חֲנִית֛וֹ עַל־ שְׁלֹשׁ־ מֵא֥וֹת חָלָ֖ל בְּפַ֥עַם אֶחָֽת׃
12And next to him among the three mighty men was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite.12וְאַחֲרָ֛יו אֶלְעָזָ֥ר בֶּן־ דּוֹד֖וֹ הָאֲחוֹחִ֑י ה֖וּא בִּשְׁלוֹשָׁ֥ה הַגִּבֹּרִֽים׃
13He was with David at Pas-dammim when the Philistines were gathered there for battle. There was a plot of ground full of barley, and the men fled from the Philistines.13הֽוּא־ הָיָ֨ה עִם־ דָּוִ֜יד בַּפַּ֣ס דַּמִּ֗ים וְהַפְּלִשְׁתִּים֙ נֶאֱסְפוּ־ שָׁ֣ם‪‬ לַמִּלְחָמָ֔ה וַתְּהִ֛י חֶלְקַ֥ת הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה מְלֵאָ֣ה שְׂעוֹרִ֑ים וְהָעָ֥ם נָ֖סוּ מִפְּנֵ֥י פְלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
14But he took his stand in the midst of the plot and defended it and killed the Philistines. And the LORD saved them by a great victory.14וַיִּֽתְיַצְּב֤וּ בְתוֹךְ־ הַחֶלְקָה֙ וַיַּצִּיל֔וּהָ וַיַּכּ֖וּ אֶת־ פְּלִשְׁתִּ֑ים וַיּ֥וֹשַׁע יְהוָ֖ה תְּשׁוּעָ֥ה גְדוֹלָֽה׃
15Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David at the cave of Adullam, when the army of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.15וַיֵּרְד֡וּ שְֽׁלוֹשָׁה֩ מִן־ הַשְּׁלוֹשִׁ֨ים רֹ֤אשׁ עַל־ הַצֻּר֙ אֶל־ דָּוִ֔יד אֶל־ מְעָרַ֖ת עֲדֻלָּ֑ם וּמַחֲנֵ֣ה פְלִשְׁתִּ֔ים חֹנָ֖ה בְּעֵ֥מֶק רְפָאִֽים׃
16David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then at Bethlehem.16וְדָוִ֖יד אָ֣ז בַּמְּצוּדָ֑ה וּנְצִ֣יב פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים אָ֖ז בְּבֵ֥ית לָֽחֶם׃
17And David said longingly, “Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem that is by the gate!”17[ויתאו] (וַיִּתְאָ֥יו) דָּוִ֖יד וַיֹּאמַ֑ר מִ֚י יַשְׁקֵ֣נִי מַ֔יִם מִבּ֥וֹר בֵּֽית־ לֶ֖חֶם אֲשֶׁ֥ר בַּשָּֽׁעַר׃
18Then the three mighty men broke through the camp 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 it. He poured it out to the LORD18וַיִּבְקְע֨וּ הַשְּׁלֹשָׁ֜ה בְּמַחֲנֵ֣ה פְלִשְׁתִּ֗ים וַיִּֽשְׁאֲבוּ־ מַ֙יִם֙ מִבּ֤וֹר בֵּֽית־ לֶ֙חֶם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בַּשַּׁ֔עַר וַיִּשְׂא֖וּ וַיָּבִ֣אוּ אֶל־ דָּוִ֑יד וְלֹֽא־ אָבָ֤ה דָוִיד֙ לִשְׁתּוֹתָ֔ם וַיְנַסֵּ֥ךְ אֹתָ֖ם לַיהוָֽה׃
19and said, “Far be it from me before my God that I should do this. Shall I drink the lifeblood of these men? For at the risk of their lives they brought it.” Therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.19וַיֹּ֡אמֶר חָלִילָה֩ לִּ֨י מֵאֱלֹהַ֜י מֵעֲשׂ֣וֹת זֹ֗את הֲדַ֣ם הָאֲנָשִׁים֩ הָאֵ֨לֶּה אֶשְׁתֶּ֤ה בְנַפְשׁוֹתָם֙ כִּ֣י בְנַפְשׁוֹתָ֣ם הֱבִיא֔וּם וְלֹ֥א אָבָ֖ה לִשְׁתּוֹתָ֑ם אֵ֣לֶּה עָשׂ֔וּ שְׁלֹ֖שֶׁת הַגִּבּוֹרִֽים׃
20Now Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the thirty. And he wielded his spear against 300 men and killed them and won a name beside the three.20וְאַבְשַׁ֣י אֲחִֽי־ יוֹאָ֗ב ה֤וּא הָיָה֙ רֹ֣אשׁ הַשְּׁלוֹשָׁ֔ה וְהוּא֙ עוֹרֵ֣ר אֶת־ חֲנִית֔וֹ עַל־ שְׁלֹ֥שׁ מֵא֖וֹת חָלָ֑ל [ולא־] (וְלוֹ־) שֵׁ֖ם בַּשְּׁלוֹשָֽׁה׃
21He was the most renowned of the thirty and became their commander, but he did not attain to the three.21מִן־ הַשְּׁלוֹשָׁ֤ה בַשְּׁנַ֙יִם֙ נִכְבָּ֔ד וַיְהִ֥י לָהֶ֖ם לְשָׂ֑ר וְעַד־ הַשְּׁלוֹשָׁ֖ה לֹֽא־ בָֽא׃ ס
22And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was a valiant man of Kabzeel, a doer of great deeds. He struck down two heroes of Moab. He also went down and struck down a lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen.22בְּנָיָ֨ה בֶן־ יְהוֹיָדָ֧ע בֶּן־ אִֽישׁ־ חַ֛יִל רַב־ פְּעָלִ֖ים מִֽן־ קַבְצְאֵ֑ל ה֣וּא הִכָּ֗ה אֵ֣ת שְׁנֵ֤י אֲרִיאֵל֙ מוֹאָ֔ב וְ֠הוּא יָרַ֞ד וְהִכָּ֧ה אֶֽת־ הָאֲרִ֛י בְּת֥וֹךְ הַבּ֖וֹר בְּי֥וֹם הַשָּֽׁלֶג׃
23And he struck down an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits tall. The Egyptian had in his hand a spear like a weaver’s beam, but Benaiah went down to him with a staff and snatched the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand and killed him with his own spear.23וְהֽוּא־ הִכָּה֩ אֶת־ הָאִ֨ישׁ הַמִּצְרִ֜י אִ֥ישׁ מִדָּ֣ה ׀ חָמֵ֣שׁ בָּאַמָּ֗ה וּבְיַ֨ד הַמִּצְרִ֤י חֲנִית֙ כִּמְנ֣וֹר אֹרְגִ֔ים וַיֵּ֥רֶד אֵלָ֖יו בַּשָּׁ֑בֶט וַיִּגְזֹ֤ל אֶֽת־ הַחֲנִית֙ מִיַּ֣ד הַמִּצְרִ֔י וַיַּהַרְגֵ֖הוּ בַּחֲנִיתֽוֹ׃
24These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada and won a name beside the three mighty men.24אֵ֣לֶּה עָשָׂ֔ה בְּנָיָ֖הוּ בֶּן־ יְהוֹיָדָ֑ע וְלוֹ־ שֵׁ֖ם בִּשְׁלוֹשָׁ֥ה הַגִּבֹּרִֽים׃
25He was renowned among the thirty, but he did not attain to the three. And David set him over his bodyguard.25מִן־ הַשְּׁלוֹשִׁ֗ים הִנּ֤וֹ נִכְבָּד֙ ה֔וּא וְאֶל־ הַשְּׁלוֹשָׁ֖ה לֹא־ בָ֑א וַיְשִׂימֵ֥הוּ דָוִ֖יד עַל־ מִשְׁמַעְתּֽוֹ׃ ס
26The mighty men were Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,26וְגִבּוֹרֵ֖י הַחֲיָלִ֑ים עֲשָׂה־ אֵל֙ אֲחִ֣י יוֹאָ֔ב אֶלְחָנָ֥ן בֶּן־ דּוֹד֖וֹ מִבֵּ֥ית לָֽחֶם׃ ס
