1 Now these be the last 314 words 1697 of David 1732. David 1732 the son 1121 of Jesse 3448 said 5002, and the man 1397 who was raised up 6965 on high 5920, the anointed 4899 of the God 430 of Jacob 3290, and the sweet 5273 psalmist 2158 of Israel 3478, said 5002,
2 The Spirit 7307 of the LORD 3068 spake 1696 by me, and his word 4405 was in my tongue 3956.
3 The God 430 of Israel 3478 said 559, the Rock 6697 of Israel 3478 spake 1696 to me, He that ruleth 4910 over men 120 must be just 6662, ruling 4910 in the fear 3374 of God 430.
4 And he shall be as the light 216 of the morning 1242, when the sun 8121 riseth 2224, even a morning 1242 without 3808 clouds 5645; as the tender grass 1877 springing out of the earth 776 by clear shining 5051 after rain 4306.
5 Although my house 1004 be not so with God 410; yet he hath made 7760 with me an everlasting 5769 covenant 1285, ordered 6186 in all things, and sure 8104: for this is all my salvation 3468, and all my desire 2656, although he make it not to grow 6779.
6 But the sons of Belial 1100 shall be all of them as thorns 6975 thrust away 5074, because they cannot be taken 3947 with hands 3027:
7 But the man 376 that shall touch 5060 them must be fenced 4390 with iron 1270 and the staff 6086 of a spear 2595; and they shall be utterly 8313 burned 8313 with fire 784 in the same place 7675.
8 These be the names 8034 of the mighty men 1368 whom David 1732 had: The Tachmonite 8461 that sat 3427 in the seat 7675 3429, chief 7218 among the captains 7991; the same was Adino 5722 the Eznite 6112: he lift up his spear against eight 8083 hundred 3967, whom he slew 2491 at one 259 time 6471.
9 And after 310 him was Eleazar 499 the son 1121 of Dodo 1734 the Ahohite 266, one of the three 7969 mighty men 1368 with David 1732, when they defied 2778 the Philistines 6430 that were there gathered together 622 to battle 4421, and the men 376 of Israel 3478 were gone away 5927:
10 He arose 6965, and smote 5221 the Philistines 6430 until 3588 his hand 3027 was weary 3021, and his hand 3027 clave 1692 unto the sword 2719: and the LORD 3068 wrought 6213 a great 1419 victory 8668 that day 3117; and the people 5971 returned 7725 after 310 him only to spoil 6584.
11 And after 310 him was Shammah 8048 the son 1121 of Agee 89 the Hararite 2043. And the Philistines 6430 were gathered together 622 into a troop 2416, where was a piece 2513 of ground 7704 full 4392 of lentiles 5742: and the people 5971 fled 5127 from 6440 the Philistines 6430.
12 But he stood 3320 in the midst 8432 of the ground 2513, and defended 5337 it, and slew 5221 the Philistines 6430: and the LORD 3068 wrought 6213 a great 1419 victory 8668.
13 And three 7969 7970 of the thirty 7970 chief 7218 went down 3381, and came 935 to David 1732 in the harvest time 7105 unto the cave 4631 of Adullam 5725: and the troop 2416 of the Philistines 6430 pitched 2583 in the valley 6010 of Rephaim 7497.
14 And David 1732 was then in an hold 4686, and the garrison 4673 of the Philistines 6430 was then in Bethlehem 1035.
15 And David 1732 longed 183, and said 559, Oh that one would give me drink 8248 of the water 4325 of the well 953 of Bethlehem 1035, which is by the gate 8179!
16 And the three 7969 mighty men 1368 brake through 1234 the host 4264 of the Philistines 6430, and drew 7579 water 4325 out of the well 953 of Bethlehem 1035, that was by the gate 8179, and took 5375 it, and brought 935 it to David 1732: nevertheless he would 14 not drink 8354 thereof, but poured it out 5258 unto the LORD 3068.
17 And he said 559, Be it far 2486 from me, O LORD 3068, that I should do 6213 this: is not this the blood 1818 of the men 582 that went 1980 in jeopardy of their lives 5315? therefore he would 14 not drink 8354 it. These things did 6213 these three 7969 mighty men 1368.
18 And Abishai 52, the brother 251 of Joab 3097, the son 1121 of Zeruiah 6870, was chief 7218 among three 7992. And he lifted up 5782 his spear 2595 against three 7969 hundred 3967, and slew 2491 them, and had the name 8034 among three 7969.
19 Was he not most honourable 3513 of three 7969? therefore he was their captain 8269: howbeit he attained 935 not unto the first three 7969.
20 And Benaiah 1141 the son 1121 of Jehoiada 3077, the son 1121 of a valiant 2428 man 376 381, of Kabzeel 6909, who had done many 7227 acts 6467, he slew 5221 two 8147 lionlike men 739 of Moab 4124: he went down 3381 also and slew 5221 a lion 738 in the midst 8432 of a pit 953 in time 3117 of snow 7950:
21 And he slew 2026 an Egyptian 4713, a goodly 4758 man 376: and the Egyptian 4713 had a spear 2595 in his hand 3027; but he went down 3381 to him with a staff 7626, and plucked 1497 the spear 2595 out of the Egyptian's 4713 hand 3027, and slew 5221 him with his own spear 2595.
22 These things did 6213 Benaiah 1141 the son 1121 of Jehoiada 3077, and had the name 8034 among three 7969 mighty men 1368.
23 He was more honourable 3513 than the thirty 7970, but he attained 935 not to the first three 7969. And David 1732 set 7760 him over his guard 4928.
