WEB·1 Chronicles 11

¹Then all Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

KJVThen all Israel^H3478 gathered^H6908^(H8735) themselves to David^H1732 unto Hebron^H2275, saying^H559^(H8800), Behold, we are thy bone^H6106 and thy flesh^H1320.

² In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. Yahweh your God said to you, ‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over my people Israel.’”

KJVAnd moreover in time^H8543 past^H8032, even when Saul^H7586 was king^H4428, thou wast he that leddest out^H3318^(H8688) and broughtest in^H935^(H8688) Israel^H3478: and the LORD^H3068 thy God^H430 said^H559^(H8799) unto thee, Thou shalt feed^H7462^(H8799) my people^H5971 Israel^H3478, and thou shalt be ruler^H5057 over my people^H1571 Israel^H3478.

³ So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Yahweh. They anointed David king over Israel, according to Yahweh’s word by Samuel.

KJVTherefore came^H935^(H8799) all the elders^H2205 of Israel^H3478 to the king^H4428 to Hebron^H2275; and David^H1732 made^H3772^(H8799) a covenant^H1285 with them in Hebron^H2275 before^H6440 the LORD^H3068; and they anointed^H4886^(H8799) David^H1732 king^H4428 over Israel^H3478, according to the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 by^H3027 Samuel^H8050.

⁴ David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (also called Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.

KJVAnd David^H1732 and all Israel^H3478 went^H3212^(H8799) to Jerusalem^H3389, which is Jebus^H2982; where the Jebusites^H2983 were, the inhabitants^H3427^(H8802) of the land^H776.

⁵ The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will not come in here!” Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. The same is David’s city.

KJVAnd the inhabitants^H3427^(H8802) of Jebus^H2982 said^H559^(H8799) to David^H1732, Thou shalt not come^H935^(H8799) hither. Nevertheless David^H1732 took^H3920^(H8799) the castle^H4686 of Zion^H6726, which is the city^H5892 of David^H1732.

⁶ David had said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.” Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.

KJVAnd David^H1732 said^H559^(H8799), Whosoever smiteth^H5221^(H8688) the Jebusites^H2983 first^H7223 shall be chief^H7218 and captain^H8269. So Joab^H3097 the son^H1121 of Zeruiah^H6870 went^H5927 first^H7223 up^H5927^(H8799), and was chief^H7218.

⁷ David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it David’s city.

KJVAnd David^H1732 dwelt^H3427^(H8799) in the castle^H4679; therefore they called^H7121^(H8804) it the city^H5892 of David^H1732.

⁸ He built the city all around, from Millo even around; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

KJVAnd he built^H1129^(H8799) the city^H5892 round about^H5439, even from Millo^H4407 round about^H5439: and Joab^H3097 repaired^H2421^(H8762) the rest^H7605 of the city^H5892.

⁹ David grew greater and greater, for Yahweh of Armies was with him.

KJVSo David^H1732 waxed^H3212^(H8799) greater^H1980^(H8800) and greater^H1419: for the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635 was with him.

¹⁰ Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to Yahweh’s word concerning Israel.

KJVThese also are the chief^H7218 of the mighty men^H1368 whom David^H1732 had, who strengthened^H2388^(H8693) themselves with him in his kingdom^H4438, and with all Israel^H3478, to make him king^H4427^(H8687), according to the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 concerning Israel^H3478.

¹¹ This is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty; he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them at one time.

KJVAnd this is the number^H4557 of the mighty men^H1368 whom David^H1732 had; Jashobeam^H3434, an Hachmonite^H2453, the chief^H7218 of the captains^H7991^(H8675)^H7970: he lifted up^H5782^(H8790) his spear^H2595 against three^H7969 hundred^H3967 slain^H2491 by him at one^H259 time^H6471.

¹² After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.

KJVAnd after^H310 him was Eleazar^H499 the son^H1121 of Dodo^H1734, the Ahohite^H266, who was one of the three^H7969 mighties^H1368.

¹³ He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where there was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.

KJVHe was with David^H1732 at Pasdammim^H6450, and there the Philistines^H6430 were gathered together^H622^(H8738) to battle^H4421, where was a parcel^H2513 of ground^H7704 full^H4392 of barley^H8184; and the people^H5971 fled^H5127^(H8804) from before^H6440 the Philistines^H6430.

¹⁴ They stood in the middle of the plot, defended it, and killed the Philistines; and Yahweh saved them by a great victory.

KJVAnd they set^H3320^(H8691) themselves in the midst^H8432 of that parcel^H2513, and delivered^H5337^(H8686) it, and slew^H5221^(H8686) the Philistines^H6430; and the LORD^H3068 saved^H3467^(H8686) them by a great^H1419 deliverance^H8668.

¹⁵ Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines were encamped in the valley of Rephaim.

KJVNow three^H7969 of the thirty^H7970 captains^H7218 went down^H3381^(H8799) to the rock^H6697 to David^H1732, into the cave^H4631 of Adullam^H5725; and the host^H4264 of the Philistines^H6430 encamped^H2583^(H8802) in the valley^H6010 of Rephaim^H7497.

¹⁶ David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was in Bethlehem at that time.

KJVAnd David^H1732 was then in the hold^H4686, and the Philistines^H6430' garrison^H5333 was then at Bethlehem^H1035.

¹⁷ David longed, and said, “Oh, that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!”

KJVAnd David^H1732 longed^H183^(H8691), and said^H559^(H8799), Oh that one would give me drink^H8248^(H8686) of the water^H4325 of the well^H953 of Bethlehem^H1035, that is at the gate^H8179!

¹⁸ The three broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, took it, and brought it to David; but David would not drink any of it, but poured it out to Yahweh,

KJVAnd the three^H7969 brake through^H1234^(H8799) the host^H4264 of the Philistines^H6430, and drew^H7579^(H8799) water^H4325 out of the well^H953 of Bethlehem^H1035, that was by the gate^H8179, and took^H5375^(H8799) it, and brought^H935^(H8686) it to David^H1732: but David^H1732 would^H14^(H8804) not drink^H8354^(H8800) of it, but poured it out^H5258^(H8762) to the LORD^H3068,

¹⁹ and said, “My God forbid me, that I should do this! Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy?” For they risked their lives to bring it. Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.

KJVAnd said^H559^(H8799), My God^H430 forbid^H2486 it me, that I should do^H6213^(H8800) this thing^H2063: shall I drink^H8354^(H8799) the blood^H1818 of these men^H582 that have put their lives in jeopardy^H5315? for with the jeopardy of their lives^H5315 they brought^H935^(H8689) it. Therefore he would^H14^(H8804) not drink^H8354^(H8800) it. These things did^H6213^(H8804) these three^H7969 mightiest^H1368.

²⁰ Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the three; for he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name among the three.

KJVAnd Abishai^H52 the brother^H251 of Joab^H3097, he was chief^H7218 of the three^H7969: for lifting up^H5782^(H8790) his spear^H2595 against three^H7969 hundred^H3967, he slew^H2491 them, and had a name^H8034 among the three^H7969.

²¹ Of the three, he was more honorable than the two, and was made their captain; however he wasn’t included in the three.

KJVOf the three^H7969, he was more honourable^H3513^(H8737) than the two^H8147; for he was their captain^H8269: howbeit he attained^H935^(H8804) not to the first three^H7969.

²² 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.

KJVBenaiah^H1141 the son^H1121 of Jehoiada^H3077, the son^H1121 of a valiant^H2428 man^H376 of Kabzeel^H6909, who had done many^H7227 acts^H6467; he slew^H5221^(H8689) two^H8147 lionlike men^H739 of Moab^H4124: also he went down^H3381^(H8804) and slew^H5221^(H8689) a lion^H738 in^H8432 a pit^H953 in a snowy^H7950 day^H3117.

²³ He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high. In the Egyptian’s hand was a spear like a weaver’s beam; and he went down to him with a staff, plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear.

KJVAnd he slew^H5221^(H8689) an Egyptian^H4713, a man^H376 of great stature^H4060, five^H2568 cubits^H520 high; and in the Egyptian's^H4713 hand^H3027 was a spear^H2595 like a weaver's^H707^(H8802) beam^H4500; and he went down^H3381^(H8799) to him with a staff^H7626, and plucked^H1497^(H8799) the spear^H2595 out of the Egyptian's^H4713 hand^H3027, and slew^H2026^(H8799) him with his own spear^H2595.

²⁴ Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things and had a name among the three mighty men.

KJVThese things did^H6213^(H8804) Benaiah^H1141 the son^H1121 of Jehoiada^H3077, and had the name^H8034 among the three^H7969 mighties^H1368.

²⁵ Behold, he was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn’t attain to the three; and David set him over his guard.

KJVBehold^H2009, he was honourable^H3513^(H8737) among the thirty^H7970, but attained^H935^(H8804) not to the first three^H7969: and David^H1732 set^H7760^(H8799) him over his guard^H4928.

¹Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on Mount Gilboa.

KJVNow the Philistines^H6430 fought^H3898^(H8738) against Israel^H3478; and the men^H376 of Israel^H3478 fled^H5127^(H8799) from before^H6440 the Philistines^H6430, and fell down^H5307^(H8799) slain^H2491 in mount^H2022 Gilboa^H1533.

² The Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.

KJVAnd the Philistines^H6430 followed hard^H1692^(H8686) after^H310 Saul^H7586, and after^H310 his sons^H1121; and the Philistines^H6430 slew^H5221^(H8686) Jonathan^H3129, and Abinadab^H41, and Malchishua^H4444, the sons^H1121 of Saul^H7586.

³ The battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was distressed by reason of the archers.

KJVAnd the battle^H4421 went sore^H3513^(H8799) against Saul^H7586, and the archers^H3384^(H8688)^H7198 hit^H4672^(H8799) him, and he was wounded^H2342^(H8799) of the archers^H3384^(H8802).

⁴ Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me.” But his armor bearer would not, for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword and fell on it.

KJVThen said^H559^(H8799) Saul^H7586 to his armourbearer^H5375^(H8802)^H3627, Draw^H8025^(H8798) thy sword^H2719, and thrust^H1856^(H8798) me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised^H6189 come^H935^(H8799) and abuse^H5953^(H8694) me. But his armourbearer^H5375^(H8802)^H3627 would^H14^(H8804) not; for he was sore^H3966 afraid^H3372^(H8804). So Saul^H7586 took^H3947^(H8799) a sword^H2719, and fell^H5307^(H8799) upon it.

⁵ When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword and died.

⁸ On the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

⁹ They stripped him and took his head and his armor, then sent into the land of the Philistines all around to carry the news to their idols and to the people.

KJVAnd when they had stripped^H6584^(H8686) him, they took^H5375^(H8799) his head^H7218, and his armour^H3627, and sent^H7971^(H8762) into the land^H776 of the Philistines^H6430 round about^H5439, to carry tidings^H1319^(H8763) unto their idols^H6091, and to the people^H5971.

¹⁰ They put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.

KJVAnd they put^H7760^(H8799) his armour^H3627 in the house^H1004 of their gods^H430, and fastened^H8628^(H8804) his head^H1538 in the temple^H1004 of Dagon^H1712.

¹² all the valiant men arose and took away the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

KJVThey arose^H6965^(H8799), all the valiant^H2428 men^H376, and took away^H5375^(H8799) the body^H1480 of Saul^H7586, and the bodies^H1480 of his sons^H1121, and brought^H935^(H8686) them to Jabesh^H3003, and buried^H6912^(H8799) their bones^H6106 under the oak^H424 in Jabesh^H3003, and fasted^H6684^(H8799) seven^H7651 days^H3117.

¹³ So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against Yahweh, because of Yahweh’s word, which he didn’t keep, and also because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, to inquire,

KJVSo Saul^H7586 died^H4191^(H8799) for his transgression^H4604 which he committed^H4603^(H8804) against the LORD^H3068, even against the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, which he kept^H8104^(H8804) not, and also for asking^H7592^(H8800) counsel of one that had a familiar spirit^H178, to enquire^H1875^(H8800) of it;

¹⁴ and didn’t inquire of Yahweh. Therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.

KJVAnd enquired^H1875^(H8804) not of the LORD^H3068: therefore he slew^H4191^(H8686) him, and turned^H5437^(H8686) the kingdom^H4410 unto David^H1732 the son^H1121 of Jesse^H3448.
