Now theseH428 be the lastH314 wordsH1697 of David.H1732 DavidH1732 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 said,H5002 and the manH1397 who was raisedH6965 up on high,H5920 the anointedH4899 of the GodH430 of Jacob,H3290 and the sweetH5273 psalmistH2158 of Israel,H3478 said,H5002
2
The SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 by me, and his wordH4405 was in my tongue.H3956
3
The GodH430 of IsraelH3478 said,H559 the RockH6697 of IsraelH3478 spokeH1696 to me, He that rulesH4910 over menH120 must be just,H6662 rulingH4910 in the fearH3374 of God.H430
4
And he shall be as the lightH216 of the morning,H1242 when the sunH8121 rises,H2224 even a morningH1242 withoutH3808 clouds;H5645 as the tender grassH1877 springing out of the earthH776 by clear shiningH5051 after rain.H4306
5
AlthoughH3588 my houseH1004 be not soH3651 with God;H410 yetH3588 he has madeH7760 with me an everlastingH5769 covenant,H1285 orderedH6186 in allH3605 things, and sure:H8104 for this is allH3605 my salvation,H3468 and allH3605 my desire,H2656 althoughH3588 he make it not to grow.H6779
6
But the sons of BelialH1100 shall be allH3605 of them as thornsH6975 thrustH5074 away,H5074 becauseH3588 they cannotH3808 be takenH3947 with hands:H3027
7
But the manH376 that shall touchH5060 them must be fencedH4390 with ironH1270 and the staffH6086 of a spear;H2595 and they shall be utterly burnedH8313 with fireH784 in the same place.H7675
8
TheseH428 be the namesH8034 of the mightyH1368 men whomH834 DavidH1732 had: The TachmoniteH8461 that satH3427 in the seat,H7675 chiefH7218 among the captains;H7991 the sameH1931 was AdinoH5722 the Eznite:H6112 he lift up his spear againstH5921 eightH8083 hundred,H3967 whom he slewH2491 at oneH259 time.H6471
9
And afterH310 him was EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of DodoH1734 the Ahohite,H1121 H266 one of the threeH7969 mightyH1368 men with David,H1732 when they defiedH2778 the PhilistinesH6430 that were thereH8033 gatheredH622 together to battle,H4421 and the menH376 of IsraelH3478 were goneH5927 away:
10
He arose,H6965 and smoteH5221 the PhilistinesH6430 untilH5704 H3588 his handH3027 was weary,H3021 and his handH3027 stuckH1692 to the sword:H2719 and the LORDH3068 workedH6213 a greatH1419 victoryH8668 that day;H3117 and the peopleH5971 returnedH7725 afterH310 him onlyH389 to spoil.H6584
11
And afterH310 him was ShammahH8048 the sonH1121 of AgeeH89 the Hararite.H2043 And the PhilistinesH6430 were gatheredH622 together into a troop,H2416 whereH8033 was a pieceH2513 of groundH7704 fullH4392 of lentils:H5742 and the peopleH5971 fledH1272 from the Philistines.H6430
12
But he stoodH3320 in the middleH8432 of the ground,H2513 and defendedH5337 it, and slewH5221 the Philistines:H6430 and the LORDH3068 workedH6213 a greatH1419 victory.H8668
13
And threeH7991 of the thirtyH7970 chiefH7218 wentH3381 down,H3381 and cameH935 to DavidH1732 in the harvestH7105 time to the caveH4631 of Adullam:H5725 and the troopH2416 of the PhilistinesH6430 pitchedH2583 in the valleyH6010 of Rephaim.H7497
14
And DavidH1732 was thenH227 in an hold,H4686 and the garrisonH4673 of the PhilistinesH6430 was then in Bethlehem.H1035
15
And DavidH1732 longed,H183 and said,H559 Oh that one would give me drinkH8248 of the waterH4325 of the wellH953 of Bethlehem,H1035 whichH834 is by the gate!H8179
16
And the threeH7969 mightyH1368 men brokeH1234 throughH1234 the hostH4264 of the Philistines,H6430 and drewH7579 waterH4325 out of the wellH953 of Bethlehem,H1035 that was by the gate,H8179 and tookH5375 it, and broughtH935 it to David:H1732 nevertheless he wouldH14 not drinkH8354 thereof, but pouredH5258 it out to the LORD.H3068
17
And he said,H559 Be it farH2486 from me, O LORD,H3068 that I should doH6213 this:H2063 is not this the bloodH1818 of the menH582 that wentH1980 in jeopardy of their lives?H5315 therefore he wouldH14 not drinkH8354 it. TheseH428 things didH6213 theseH428 threeH7969 mightyH1368 men.
18
And Abishai,H52 the brotherH251 of Joab,H3097 the sonH1121 of Zeruiah,H6870 was chiefH7218 among three.H7992 And he liftedH5782 up his spearH2595 againstH5921 threeH7969 hundred,H3967 and slewH2491 them, and had the nameH8034 among three.H7969
19
Was he not most honorableH3513 of three?H7969 therefore he was their captain:H8269 however, he attainedH935 not to the first three.H7969
20
And BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of Jehoiada,H3111 the sonH1121 of a valiantH2428 man,H376 of Kabzeel,H6909 who had doneH6213 manyH7227 acts,H6467 he slewH5221 twoH8147 lion likeH739 men of Moab:H4124 he wentH3381 downH3381 also and slewH5221 a lionH738 in the middleH8432 of a pitH953 in timeH3117 of snow:H7950
21
And he slewH2026 an Egyptian,H4713 a goodlyH4758 man:H376 and the EgyptianH4713 had a spearH2595 in his hand;H3027 but he wentH3381 downH3381 to him with a staff,H7626 and pluckedH1497 the spearH2595 out of the Egyptian'sH4713 hand,H3027 and slewH5221 him with his own spear.H2595
22
TheseH428 things didH6213 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of Jehoiada,H3111 and had the nameH8034 among threeH7969 mightyH1368 men.
23
He was more honorableH3513 thanH4480 the thirty,H7970 but he attainedH935 not to the first three.H7969 And DavidH1732 setH7760 him overH413 his guard.H4928
