Book 13 : 1 CHRONICLES - Chapter 011
011:001
And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou wast
he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD thy
God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou
shalt be ruler over my people Israel
011:002
Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron;
and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD;
and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the
word of the LORD by Samuel
011:003
And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus;
where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land
011:004
And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not
come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which
is the city of David
011:005
And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be
chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up,
and was chief
011:006
And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the
city of David
011:007
And he built the city round about, even from Millo round
about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city
011:008
So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts was
with him
011:009
These also are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who
strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, and with all
Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD
concerning Israel
011:010
And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had;
Jashobeam, an Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted
up his spear against three hundred slain by him at one time
011:011
And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who
was one of the three mighties
011:012
He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were
gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground full
of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines
011:013
And they set themselves in the midst of that parcel, and
delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved
them by a great deliverance
011:014
Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to
David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the
Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim
011:015
And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines' garrison
was then at Bethlehem
011:016
And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of
the water of the well of Bethlehem, that is at the gate
011:017
And the three brake through the host 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 David would not
drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD
011:018
And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing:
shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives
in jeopardy? for with the jeopardy of their lives they brought
it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these
three mightiest
011:019
And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three:
for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew them,
and had a name among the three
011:020
Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was
their captain: howbeit he attained not to the first three
011:021
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: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy
day
011:022
And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits
high; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's
beam; and 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
011:023
These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name
among the three mighties
011:024
Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but attained not
to the first three: and David set him over his guard
011:025
Also the valiant men of the armies were, Asahel the brother of
Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem
011:026
Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite
011:027
Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abiezer the Antothite
011:028

Netophathite

children of Benjamin, Benaiah the Pirathonite

011:043
Uzzia the Ashterathite, Shama and Jehiel the sons of Hothan
the Aroerite
