Now these
are the last
words
of
David
.
David
the son
of Jesse
declares,
The man
who was raised
on high
declares,
The anointed
of the God
of Jacob,
And the sweet
psalmist
of Israel,
2
"The Spirit
of the LORD
spoke
by me, And His word
was on my tongue.
3
"The God
of Israel
said,
The Rock
of Israel
spoke
to me, 'He who rules
over men
righteously,
Who rules
in the fear
of God,
4
Is as the light
of the morning
when the sun
rises,
A morning
without
clouds,
When the tender grass
springs out of the earth,
Through
sunshine
after
rain.'
5
"Truly
is not my house
so
with God?
For He has made
an everlasting
covenant
with me, Ordered
in all
things,
and secured;
For all
my salvation
and all
my desire,
Will He not indeed
make it grow?
6
"But the worthless,
every one
of them will be thrust away
like thorns,
Because
they cannot
be taken
in hand;
7
But the man
who touches
them Must be armed
with iron
and the shaft
of a spear,
And they will be completely
burned
with fire
in their place."
8
These
are the names
of the mighty men
whom
David
had: Josheb-basshebeth
a Tahchemonite,
chief
of the captains,
he was called Adino
the Eznite,
because
of eight
hundred
slain
by him 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
who were gathered
there
to battle
and the men
of Israel
had withdrawn.
10
He arose
and struck
the Philistines
until
his hand
was weary
and clung
to the sword,
and the LORD
brought about
a great
victory
that day;
and the people
returned
after
him only
to strip
the slain.
11
Now after
him was Shammah
the son
of Agee
a Hararite.
And the Philistines
were gathered
into a troop
where there
was a plot
of ground
full
of lentils,
and the people
fled
from the Philistines.
12
But he took his stand
in the midst
of the plot,
defended
it and struck
the Philistines;
and the LORD
brought about
a great
victory.
13
Then three
of the thirty
chief men
went down
and came
to David
in the harvest time
to the cave
of Adullam,
while the troop
of the Philistines
was camping
in the valley
of Rephaim.
14
David
was then
in the stronghold,
while the garrison
of the Philistines
was then
in Bethlehem.
15
David
had a craving
and said,
"Oh that someone
would give
me water
to drink
from the well
of Bethlehem
which
is by the gate!"
16
So the three
mighty men
broke through
the camp
of the Philistines,
and drew
water
from the well
of Bethlehem
which
was by the gate,
and took
it and brought
it to David.
Nevertheless he would
not drink
it, but poured
it out to the LORD;
17
and he said,
"Be it far
from me, O LORD,
that I should do
this.
Shall I drink the blood
of the men
who went
in jeopardy of their lives?"
Therefore he would
not drink
it. These things
the three
mighty men
did.
18
Abishai,
the brother
of Joab,
the son
of Zeruiah,
was chief
of the thirty.
And he swung
his spear
against
three
hundred
and killed
them, and had a name
as well as the
three
.
19
He was most
honored
of the thirty,
therefore he became
their commander;
however, he did not attain
to the three.
20
Then Benaiah
the son
of Jehoiada,
the son
of a valiant
man
of Kabzeel,
who had done mighty
deeds,
killed
the two
sons of Ariel
of Moab.
He also went down
and
killed
a lion
in the middle
of a pit
on a snowy
day.
21
He killed
an Egyptian,
an impressive
man.
Now the Egyptian
had a spear
in his
hand
,
but he went down
to him with a club
and snatched
the spear
from the Egyptian's
hand
and killed
him with his own spear.
22
These
things Benaiah
the son
of Jehoiada
did,
and had a name
as well as the three
mighty men.
23
He was honored
among
the thirty,
but he did not attain
to the three.
And David
appointed
him over
his guard.
24

of Joab
was among the thirty;
