chapter 11
1
Then
all Israel gathered themselves to David in Hebron, saying: We are thy bone, and
thy flesh.
2 Yesterday also, and the day before when Saul was
king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: for the Lord thy
God said to thee: Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt; be ruler
over them.
3 So all the ancients of Israel came to the king to
Hebron, and David made a covenant with them before the Lord: and they anointed
him king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke in the
hand of Samuel.
4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is
Jebus, where the Jebusites were the inhabitants of the land.
5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David: Thou
shalt not come in here. But David took the castle of Sion, which is the city of
David.
6 And he said: Whosoever shall first strike the
Jebusites, shall be the head and chief captain. And Joab the son of Sarvia went
up first, and was made the general.
7 And David dwelt in the castle, and therefore it was
called the city of David.
8 And he built the city round about from Mello all
round, and Joab built the rest of the city.
9 And David went on growing and increasing, and the
Lord of hosts was with him.
10 These are the chief of the valiant men of David, who
helped him to be made king over all Israel, according to the word of the Lord,
which he spoke to Israel.
11 And this is the number of the heroes of David:
Jesbaam the son of Hachamoni the chief among the thirty: he lifted up his spear
against three hundred wounded by him at one time.
12 And after him was Eleazar his uncle's son the
Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties.
13 He was with David in Phesdomim, when the Philistines
were gathered to that place to battle: and the field of that country was full
of barley, and the people fled from before the Philistines.
14 But these men stood in the midst of the field, and
defended it: and they slew the Philistines, and the Lord gave a great
deliverance to his people.
15 And three of the thirty captains went down to the
rock, wherein David was, to the cave of Odollam, when the Philistines encamped
in the valley of Raphaim.
16 And David was in a hold, and the garrison of the
Philistines in Bethlehem.
17 And David longed, and said: O that some man would
give me water of the cistern of Bethlehem, which is in the gate.
18 And these three broke through the midst of the camp
of the Philistines, and drew water out of the cistern of Bethlehem, which was
in the gate, and brought it to David to drink: and he would not drink of it,
but rather offered it to the Lord,
19 Saying: God forbid that I should do this in the
sight of my God, and should drink the blood of these men: for with the danger
of their lives they have brought me the water. And therefore he would not
drink. These things did the three most valiant.
20 And Abisai the brother of Joab, he was chief of
three, and he lifted up his spear against three hundred whom he slew, and he
was renowned among the three,
21 And illustrious among the second three, and their
captain: but yet he attained not to the first three.
22 Banaias the son of Joiada, a most valiant man, of
Cabseel, who had done many acts: he slew the two ariels of Moab: and he went
down, and killed a lion in the midst of a pit in the time of snow.
23 And he slew an Egyptian, whose stature was of five
cubits, and who had a spear like a weaver's beam: and he went down to him with
a staff, and plucked away the spear, that he held in his hand, and slew him
with his own spear.
24 These things did Banaias the son of Joiada, who was
renowned among the three valiant ones,
25 And the first among the thirty, but yet to the three
he attained not: and David made him of his council.
26 Moreover the most valiant men of the army, were
Asahel brother of Joab, and Elchanan the son of his uncle of Bethlehem,
