1 Chronicles 11:1 Then all Israel gathered
themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy
flesh.
2 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.
3 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.
4 And
David and all
Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the
inhabitants of the land.
-
Jebusites were (descendants
of Jebus), The,
were descended from the third son of Canaan.
5 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.
6 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.
7 And David dwelt in the
castle; therefore they called it the city of David.
8 And he
built the city round about, even from Millo round about: and Joab
repaired the rest of the city.
9 So David waxed greater and
greater: for the Lord of hosts was with him.
10 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.
11 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.
12 And after him was
Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties.
13 He was with David at Pas-dammim, 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.
14 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.
15 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.
16 And David was then in the hold, and the
Philistines' garrison was then at Beth-lehem.
17 And David
longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water
of the well of Beth-lehem, that is at the gate!
18 And
the three brake through the host of the Philistines,
and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, 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,
19 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.
20 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.
21 Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was
their captain: howbeit he attained not to the first three.
22
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who
had done many acts; he slew two lion like men of Moab: also he went down
and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day.
23 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.
24 These things did Benaiah the son
of Jehoiada, and had the name among the three mighties.
25
Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but attained not to the
first three: and David set him over his guard.
26 Also the
valiant men of the armies were, Asahel the brother of Joab,
Elhanan the son of Dodo of Beth-lehem,

Pelonite,
