| 2 Samuel 23 Text (WEB)
|
- Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse says, the man who was raised on high says, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel:
- "The Spirit of Yahweh spoke by me. His word was on my tongue.
- The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, 'One who rules over men righteously, who rules in the fear of God,
- shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, when the tender grass springs out of the earth, through clear shining after rain.'
- Most certainly my house is not so with God, yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure, for it is all my salvation, and all [my] desire, although he doesn't make it grow.
- But all of the ungodly shall be as thorns to be thrust away, because they can't be taken with the hand,
- But the man who touches them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear. They shall be utterly burned with fire in their place."
- These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb Basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite, against eight hundred slain at one time.
- After him was Eleazar the son of Dodai the son of an Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines who were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away.
- He arose, and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand froze to the sword; and Yahweh worked a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take spoil.
- After him was Shammah the son of Agee a Hararite. The Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where there was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines.
- But he stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and Yahweh worked a great victory.
- Three of the thirty chief men went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
- David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
- David longed, and said, "Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!"
- The three mighty men 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 he would not drink of it, but poured it out to Yahweh.
- He said, "Be it far from me, Yahweh, that I should do this! Isn't it the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives?" Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.
- Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the three. He lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name among the three.
- Wasn't he most honorable of the three? therefore he was made their captain: however he didn't attain to the [first] three.
- 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.
- He killed an Egyptian, a goodly man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but 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.
- These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had a name among the three mighty men.
- He was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn't attain to the [first] three. David set him over his guard.
- Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,
- Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite,
- Helez the Paltite, Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite,
- Abiezer the Anathothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite,
- Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite,
- Heleb the son of Baanah the Netophathite, Ittai the son of Ribai of Gibeah of the children of Benjamin,
- Benaiah a Pirathonite, Hiddai of the brooks of Gaash.
- Abialbon the Arbathite, Azmaveth the Barhumite,
- Eliahba the Shaalbonite, the sons of Jashen, Jonathan,
- Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam the son of Sharar the Ararite,
- Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai, the son of the Maacathite, Eliam the son of Ahithophel the Gilonite,

- Hæc autem sunt verba David novissima. Dixit David filius Isai : Dixit vir, cui constitutum est de christo Dei Jacob, egregius psaltes Israël :
- Spiritus Domini locutus est per me, et sermo ejus per linguam meam.
- Dixit Deus Israël mihi, locutus est fortis Israël, dominator hominum, justus dominator in timore Dei.
- Sicut lux auroræ, oriente sole, mane absque nubibus rutilat, et sicut pluviis germinat herba de terra.
- Nec tanta est domus mea apud Deum, ut pactum æternum iniret mecum, firmum in omnibus atque munitum. Cuncta enim salus mea, et omnis voluntas : nec est quidquam ex ea quod non germinet.
- Prævaricatores autem quasi spinæ evellentur universi : quæ non tolluntur manibus.
- Et si quis tangere voluerit eas, armabitur ferro et ligno lanceato, igneque succensæ comburentur, usque ad nihilum.
- Hæc nomina fortium David. Sedens in cathedra sapientissimus princeps inter tres, ipse est quasi tenerrimus ligni vermiculus, qui octingentos interfecit impetu uno.
- Post hunc, Eleazar filius patrui ejus Ahohites inter tres fortes, qui erant cum David quando exprobraverunt Philisthiim, et congregati sunt illuc in prælium.
- Cumque ascendissent viri Israël, ipse stetit et percussit Philisthæos donec deficeret manus ejus, et obrigesceret cum gladio : fecitque Dominus salutem magnam in die illa : et populus, qui fugerat, reversus est ad cæsorum spolia detrahenda.
- Et post hunc, Semma filius Age de Arari. Et congregati sunt Philisthiim in statione : erat quippe ibi ager lente plenus. Cumque fugisset populus a facie Philisthiim,
- stetit ille in medio agri, et tuitus est eum, percussitque Philisthæos : et fecit Dominus salutem magnam.
- Necnon et ante descenderant tres qui erant principes inter triginta, et venerant tempore messis ad David in speluncam Odollam : castra autem Philisthinorum erant posita in Valle gigantum.
- Et David erat in præsidio : porro statio Philisthinorum tunc erat in Bethlehem.
- Desideravit ergo David, et ait : O si quis mihi daret potum aquæ de cisterna quæ est in Bethlehem juxta portam !
- Irruperunt ergo tres fortes castra Philisthinorum, et hauserunt aquam de cisterna Bethlehem, quæ erat juxta portam, et attulerunt ad David : at ille noluit bibere, sed libavit eam Domino,
- dicens : Propitius sit mihi Dominus, ne faciam hoc : num sanguinem hominum istorum, qui profecti sunt, et animarum periculum bibam ? Noluit ergo bibere. Hæc fecerunt tres robustissimi.
- Abisai quoque frater Joab filius Sarviæ, princeps erat de tribus : ipse est qui levavit hastam suam contra trecentos, quos interfecit, nominatus in tribus,
- et inter tres nobilior, eratque eorum princeps, sed usque ad tres primos non pervenerat.
- Et Banaias filius Jojadæ viri fortissimi, magnorum operum, de Cabseel. Ipse percussit duos leones Moab, et ipse descendit, et percussit leonem in media cisterna in diebus nivis.
- Ipse quoque interfecit virum Ægyptium, virum dignum spectaculo, habentem in manu hastam : itaque cum descendisset ad eum in virga, vi extorsit hastam de manu Ægyptii, et interfecit eum hasta sua.
- Hæc fecit Banaias filius Jojadæ.
- Et ipse nominatus inter tres robustos, qui erant inter triginta nobiliores : verumtamen usque ad tres non pervenerat : fecitque eum sibi David auricularium, a secreto.
- Asaël frater Joab inter triginta, Elehanan filius patrui ejus de Bethlehem,
- Semma de Harodi, Elica de Harodi,
- Heles de Phalti, Hira filius Acces de Thecua,
- Abiezer de Anathoth, Mobonnai de Husati,
- Selmon Ahohites, Maharai Netophathites,
- Heled filius Baana, et ipse Netophathites, Ithai filius Ribai de Gabaath filiorum Benjamin,
- Banaia Pharathonites, Heddai de torrente Gaas,
- Abialbon Arbathites, Azmaveth de Beromi,
- Eliaba de Salaboni. Filii Jassen, Jonathan,
- Semma de Orori, Ajam filius Sarar Arorites,
- Eliphelet filius Aasbai filii Machati, Eliam filius Achitophel Gelonites,

- Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,
- The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue.
- The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.
- And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.
- Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow.
- But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:
- But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place.
- These be the names of the mighty men whom David had: The Tachmonite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite: he lift up his spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time.
