1
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,
2
The Spirit of the
L
ORD
spake by me, and his word
was
in my tongue.
3
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.
4
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.
5
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.
6
But
the sons
of Belial
shall be
all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:
7
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.
8
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.
9
And after him
was
Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite,
one
of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines
that
were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away:
10
He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword: and the
L
ORD
wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil.
11
And after him
was
Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentiles: and the people fled from the Philistines.
12
But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the
L
ORD
wrought a great victory.
13
And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines pitched in the valley of Rephaim.
14
And David
was
then in an hold, and the garrison of the Philistines
was
then
in
Beth-lehem.
15
And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Beth-lehem, which
is
by the gate!
16
And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that
was
by the gate, and took
it
, and brought
it
to David: nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the
L
ORD
.
17
And he said, Be it far from me, O
L
ORD
, that I should do this:
is not this
the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.
18
And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief among three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred,
and
slew
them
, and had the name among three.
19
Was he not most honourable of three? therefore he was their captain: howbeit he attained not unto the
first
three.
20
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two lionlike men of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow:
21
And he slew 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 slew him with his own spear.
22
These
things
did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among three mighty men.
23
He was more honourable than the thirty, but he attained not to the
first
three. And David set him over his guard.
24
Asahel the brother of Joab
was
one of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Beth-lehem,
25
Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite,
