Now these are the last{H314} words{H1697} of David.{H1732} David{H1732} the son{H1121} of Jesse{H3448} saith,{H5002} And the man{H1397} who was raised{H6965} on high{H5920} saith,{H5002} The anointed{H4899} of the God{H430} of Jacob,{H3290} And the sweet{H5273} psalmist{H2158} of Israel:{H3478}

The Spirit{H7307} of Jehovah{H3068} spake{H1696} by me, And his word{H4405} was upon my tongue.{H3956}

The God{H430} of Israel{H3478} said,{H559} The Rock{H6697} of Israel{H3478} spake{H1696} to me: One that ruleth{H4910} over men{H120} righteously,{H6662} That ruleth{H4910} in the fear{H3374} of God,{H430}

[ He shall be] as the light{H216} of the morning,{H1242} when the sun{H8121} riseth,{H2224} A morning{H1242} without{H3808} clouds,{H5645} [When] the tender grass{H1877} [springeth] out of the earth,{H776} Through clear shining{H5051} after rain.{H4306}

Verily my house{H1004} is not so with God;{H410} Yet he hath made{H7760} with me an everlasting{H5769} covenant,{H1285} Ordered{H6186} in all things, and sure:{H8104} For it is all my salvation,{H3468} and all [my] desire,{H2656} Although he maketh it not to grow.{H6779}

But the ungodly{H1100} shall be all of them as thorns{H6975} to be thrust away,{H5074} Because they cannot be taken{H3947} with the hand;{H3027}

But the man{H376} that toucheth{H5060} them Must be armed{H4390} with iron{H1270} and the staff{H6086} of a spear:{H2595} And they shall be utterly{H8313} burned{H8313} with fire{H784} in [their] place.{H7675}

These are the names{H8034} of the mighty men{H1368} whom David{H1732} had:{H7675} Josheb-basshebeth a{H3427} Tahchemonite,{H8461} chief{H7218} of the captains;{H7991} the same was Adino{H5722} the Eznite,{H6112} against eight{H8083} hundred{H3967} slain{H2491} at one{H259} time.{H6471}

And after{H310} him was Eleazar{H499} the son{H1121} of Dodai{H1734} the son of an Ahohite,{H266} one of the three{H7969} mighty men{H1368} with David,{H1732} when they defied{H2778} the Philistines{H6430} that were there gathered together{H622} to battle,{H4421} and the men{H376} of Israel{H3478} were gone away.{H5927}

He arose,{H6965} and smote{H5221} the Philistines{H6430} until{H3588} his hand{H3027} was weary,{H3021} and his hand{H3027} clave{H1692} unto the sword;{H2719} and Jehovah{H3068} wrought{H6213} a great{H1419} victory{H8668} that day;{H3117} and the people{H5971} returned{H7725} after{H310} him only to take spoil.{H6584}

And after{H310} him was Shammah{H8048} the son{H1121} of Agee{H89} a Hararite.{H2043} And the Philistines{H6430} were gathered together{H622} into a troop,{H2416} where was a plot{H2513} of ground{H7704} full{H4392} of lentils;{H5742} and the people{H5971} fled{H5127} from{H6440} the Philistines.{H6430}

But he stood{H3320} in the midst{H8432} of the plot,{H2513} and defended{H5337} it, and slew{H5221} the Philistines;{H6430} and Jehovah{H3068} wrought{H6213} a great{H1419} victory.{H8668}

And three{H7969} of the thirty{H7970} chief{H7218} men went down,{H3381} and came{H935} to David{H1732} in the harvest time{H7105} unto the cave{H4631} of Adullam;{H5725} and the troop{H2416} of the Philistines{H6430} was encamped{H2583} in the valley{H6010} of Rephaim.{H7497}

And David{H1732} was then in the stronghold;{H4686} and the garrison{H4673} of the Philistines{H6430} was then in Beth-lehem.{H1035}

And David{H1732} longed,{H183} and said,{H559} Oh that one would give me water{H4325} to drink{H8248} of the well{H953} of Beth-lehem,{H1035} which is by the gate!{H8179}

And the three{H7969} mighty men{H1368} brake through{H1234} the host{H4264} of the Philistines,{H6430} and drew{H7579} water{H4325} out of the well{H953} of Beth-lehem,{H1035} that was by the gate,{H8179} and took{H5375} it, and brought{H935} it to David:{H1732} but he would{H14} not drink{H8354} thereof, but poured it out{H5258} unto Jehovah.{H3068}

And he said,{H559} Be it far{H2486} from me, O Jehovah,{H3068} that I should do{H6213} this: [shall I drink] the blood{H1818} of the men{H582} that went{H1980} in jeopardy of their lives?{H5315} therefore he would{H14} not drink{H8354} it. These things did{H6213} the three{H7969} mighty men.{H1368}

And Abishai,{H52} the brother{H251} of Joab,{H3097} the son{H1121} of Zeruiah,{H6870} was chief{H7218} of the three.{H7992} And he lifted up{H5782} his spear{H2595} against three{H7969} hundred{H3967} and slew{H2491} them, and had a name{H8034} among the three.{H7969}

Was he not most honorable{H3513} of the three?{H7969} therefore he was made their captain:{H8269} howbeit he attained{H935} not unto the [first] three.{H7969}

And Benaiah{H1141} the son{H1121} of Jehoiada,{H3077} the son{H1121} of a valiant{H2428} man{H376} of Kabzeel,{H6909} who had done mighty{H7227} deeds,{H6467} he slew{H5221} the two{H8147} [sons]{H739} [of] Ariel of Moab:{H4124} he went down{H3381} also and slew{H5221} a lion{H738} in the midst{H8432} of a pit{H953} in time{H3117} of snow.{H7950}

And he slew{H2026} an Egyptian,{H4713} a goodly{H4758} man:{H376} and the Egyptian{H4713} had a spear{H2595} in his hand;{H3027} but he went down{H3381} to him with a staff,{H7626} and plucked{H1497} the spear{H2595} out of the Egyptian's{H4713} hand,{H3027} and slew{H5221} him with his own spear.{H2595}

These things did{H6213} Benaiah{H1141} the son{H1121} of Jehoiada,{H3077} and had a name{H8034} among the three{H7969} mighty men.{H1368}

He was more honorable{H3513} than the thirty,{H7970} but he attained{H935} not to the [first] three.{H7969} And David{H1732} set{H7760} him over his guard.{H4928}

Asahel{H6214} the brother{H251} of Joab{H3097} was one of the thirty;{H7970} Elhanan{H445} the son{H1121} of Dodo{H1734} of Beth-lehem,{H1035}
