Now kingH4428 DavidH1732 was oldH2204 and strickenH935 in yearsH3117; and they coveredH3680 him with clothesH899, but he gat no heatH3179. {stricken…: Heb. entered into days}
Wherefore his servantsH5650 saidH559 unto him, Let there be soughtH1245 for my lordH113 the kingH4428 a youngH5291 virginH1330: and let her standH5975 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and let her cherishH5532 him, and let her lieH7901 in thy bosomH2436, that my lordH113 the kingH4428 may get heatH2552. {Let there…: Heb. Let them seek} {a young…: Heb. a damsel, a virgin} {cherish…: Heb. be a cherisher unto him}
So they soughtH1245 for a fairH3303 damselH5291 throughout all the coastsH1366 of IsraelH3478, and foundH4672 AbishagH49 a ShunammiteH7767, and broughtH935 her to the kingH4428.
And the damselH5291 was veryH3966 fairH3303, and cherishedH5532 the kingH4428, and ministeredH8334 to him: but the kingH4428 knewH3045 her not.
Then AdonijahH138 the sonH1121 of HaggithH2294 exaltedH4984 himself, sayingH559, I will be kingH4427: and he preparedH6213 him chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571, and fiftyH2572 menH376 to runH7323 beforeH6440 him. {be king: Heb. reign}
And his fatherH1 had not displeasedH6087 him at any timeH3117 in sayingH559, Why hast thou done soH6213? and he also was a veryH3966 goodlyH2896+H8389 man; and his mother bareH3205 him afterH310 AbsalomH53. {at any…: Heb. from his days}
And he conferredH1697 with JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, and with AbiatharH54 the priestH3548: and they followingH310 AdonijahH138 helpedH5826 him. {he…: Heb. his words were with} {following…: Heb. helped after Adonijah}
But ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and ShimeiH8096, and ReiH7472, and the mighty menH1368 which belonged to DavidH1732, were not with AdonijahH138.
And AdonijahH138 slewH2076 sheepH6629 and oxenH1241 and fat cattleH4806 by the stoneH68 of ZohelethH2120, which is byH681 EnrogelH5883, and calledH7121 all his brethrenH251 the king'sH4428 sonsH1121, and all the menH582 of JudahH3063 the king'sH4428 servantsH5650: {Enrogel: or, the well Rogel}
But NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141, and the mighty menH1368, and SolomonH8010 his brotherH251, he calledH7121 not.
Wherefore NathanH5416 spakeH559 unto BathshebaH1339 the motherH517 of SolomonH8010, sayingH559, Hast thou not heardH8085 that AdonijahH138 the sonH1121 of HaggithH2294 doth reignH4427, and DavidH1732 our lordH113 knowethH3045 it not?
Now therefore comeH3212, let me, I pray thee, give thee counselH3289+H6098, that thou mayest saveH4422 thine own lifeH5315, and the lifeH5315 of thy sonH1121 SolomonH8010.
GoH3212 and get thee inH935 unto kingH4428 DavidH1732, and sayH559 unto him, Didst not thou, my lordH113, O kingH4428, swearH7650 unto thine handmaidH519, sayingH559, AssuredlyH3588 SolomonH8010 thy sonH1121 shall reignH4427 afterH310 me, and he shall sitH3427 upon my throneH3678? why then doth AdonijahH138 reignH4427?
Behold, while thou yet talkestH1696 there with the kingH4428, I also will come inH935 afterH310 thee, and confirmH4390 thy wordsH1697. {confirm: Heb. fill up}
And BathshebaH1339 went inH935 unto the kingH4428 into the chamberH2315: and the kingH4428 was veryH3966 oldH2204; and AbishagH49 the ShunammiteH7767 ministeredH8334 unto the kingH4428.
And BathshebaH1339 bowedH6915, and did obeisanceH7812 unto the kingH4428. And the kingH4428 saidH559, What wouldest thou? {What…: Heb. What to thee?}
And she saidH559 unto him, My lordH113, thou swarestH7650 by the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 unto thine handmaidH519, saying, Assuredly SolomonH8010 thy sonH1121 shall reignH4427 afterH310 me, and he shall sitH3427 upon my throneH3678.
And now, behold, AdonijahH138 reignethH4427; and now, my lordH113 the kingH4428, thou knowestH3045 it not:
And he hath slainH2076 oxenH7794 and fat cattleH4806 and sheepH6629 in abundanceH7230, and hath calledH7121 all the sonsH1121 of the kingH4428, and AbiatharH54 the priestH3548, and JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635: but SolomonH8010 thy servantH5650 hath he not calledH7121.
And thou, my lordH113, O kingH4428, the eyesH5869 of all IsraelH3478 are upon thee, that thou shouldest tellH5046 them who shall sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of my lordH113 the kingH4428 afterH310 him.
Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lordH113 the kingH4428 shall sleepH7901 with his fathersH1, that I and my sonH1121 SolomonH8010 shall be counted offendersH2400. {offenders: Heb. sinners}
And, lo, while she yet talkedH1696 with the kingH4428, NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 also came inH935.
And they toldH5046 the kingH4428, sayingH559, Behold NathanH5416 the prophetH5030. And when he was come inH935 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, he bowedH7812 himself before the kingH4428 with his faceH639 to the groundH776.
And NathanH5416 saidH559, My lordH113, O kingH4428, hast thou saidH559, AdonijahH138 shall reignH4427 afterH310 me, and he shall sitH3427 upon my throneH3678?
For he is gone downH3381 this dayH3117, and hath slainH2076 oxenH7794 and fat cattleH4806 and sheepH6629 in abundanceH7230, and hath calledH7121 all the king'sH4428 sonsH1121, and the captainsH8269 of the hostH6635, and AbiatharH54 the priestH3548; and, behold, they eatH398 and drinkH8354 beforeH6440 him, and sayH559, God saveH2421 kingH4428 AdonijahH138. {God…: Heb. Let king Adonijah live}
But me, even me thy servantH5650, and ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and thy servantH5650 SolomonH8010, hath he not calledH7121.
Is this thingH1697 doneH1961 by my lordH113 the kingH4428, and thou hast not shewedH3045 it unto thy servantH5650, who should sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of my lordH113 the kingH4428 afterH310 him?
Then kingH4428 DavidH1732 answeredH6030 and saidH559, CallH7121 me BathshebaH1339. And she cameH935 into the king'sH4428 presenceH6440, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the kingH4428. {into…: Heb. before the king}
And the kingH4428 swareH7650, and saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, that hath redeemedH6299 my soulH5315 out of all distressH6869,
Even as I swareH7650 unto thee by the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Assuredly SolomonH8010 thy sonH1121 shall reignH4427 afterH310 me, and he shall sitH3427 upon my throneH3678 in my stead; even so will I certainly doH6213 this dayH3117.
Then BathshebaH1339 bowedH6915 with her faceH639 to the earthH776, and did reverenceH7812 to the kingH4428, and saidH559, Let my lordH113 kingH4428 DavidH1732 liveH2421 for everH5769.
And kingH4428 DavidH1732 saidH559, CallH7121 me ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077. And they cameH935 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
The kingH4428 also saidH559 unto them, TakeH3947 with you the servantsH5650 of your lordH113, and cause SolomonH8010 my sonH1121 to rideH7392 upon mine own muleH6506, and bring him downH3381 to GihonH1521: {mine…: Heb. which belongeth to me}
And let ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 anointH4886 him there kingH4428 over IsraelH3478: and blowH8628 ye with the trumpetH7782, and sayH559, God saveH2421 kingH4428 SolomonH8010.
Then ye shall come upH5927 afterH310 him, that he may comeH935 and sitH3427 upon my throneH3678; for he shall be kingH4427 in my stead: and I have appointedH6680 him to be rulerH5057 over IsraelH3478 and over JudahH3063.
And BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 answeredH6030 the kingH4428, and saidH559, AmenH543: the LORDH3068 GodH430 of my lordH113 the kingH4428 sayH559 so too.
As the LORDH3068 hath been with my lordH113 the kingH4428, even so be he with SolomonH8010, and makeH1431 his throneH3678 greaterH1431 than the throneH3678 of my lordH113 kingH4428 DavidH1732.
So ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and the CherethitesH3774, and the PelethitesH6432, went downH3381, and caused SolomonH8010 to rideH7392 upon kingH4428 David'sH1732 muleH6506, and broughtH3212 him to GihonH1521.
And ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 tookH3947 an hornH7161 of oilH8081 out of the tabernacleH168, and anointedH4886 SolomonH8010. And they blewH8628 the trumpetH7782; and all the peopleH5971 saidH559, God saveH2421 kingH4428 SolomonH8010.
And all the peopleH5971 came upH5927 afterH310 him, and the peopleH5971 pipedH2490 with pipesH2485, and rejoicedH8056 with greatH1419 joyH8057, so that the earthH776 rentH1234 with the soundH6963 of them. {pipes: or, flutes}
And AdonijahH138 and all the guestsH7121 that were with him heardH8085 it as they had made an endH3615 of eatingH398. And when JoabH3097 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, he saidH559, Wherefore is this noiseH6963 of the cityH7151 being in an uproarH1993?
And while he yet spakeH1696, behold, JonathanH3129 the sonH1121 of AbiatharH54 the priestH3548 cameH935: and AdonijahH138 saidH559 unto him, Come inH935; for thou art a valiantH2428 manH376+H381, and bringestH1319 goodH2896 tidingsH1319.
And JonathanH3129 answeredH6030 and saidH559 to AdonijahH138, VerilyH61 our lordH113 kingH4428 DavidH1732 hath made SolomonH8010 kingH4427.
And the kingH4428 hath sentH7971 with him ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and the CherethitesH3774, and the PelethitesH6432, and they have caused him to rideH7392 upon the king'sH4428 muleH6506:
And ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030 have anointedH4886 him kingH4428 in GihonH1521: and they are come upH5927 from thence rejoicingH8056, so that the cityH7151 rang againH1949. This is the noiseH6963 that ye have heardH8085.
And also SolomonH8010 sittethH3427 on the throneH3678 of the kingdomH4410.
And moreover the king'sH4428 servantsH5650 cameH935 to blessH1288 our lordH113 kingH4428 DavidH1732, sayingH559, GodH430 make the nameH8034 of SolomonH8010 betterH3190 than thy nameH8034, and makeH1431 his throneH3678 greaterH1431 than thy throneH3678. And the kingH4428 bowedH7812 himself upon the bedH4904.
And also thus saidH559 the kingH4428, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, which hath givenH5414 one to sitH3427 on my throneH3678 this dayH3117, mine eyesH5869 even seeingH7200 it.
And all the guestsH7121 that were with AdonijahH138 were afraidH2729, and rose upH6965, and wentH3212 every manH376 his wayH1870.
And AdonijahH138 fearedH3372 becauseH6440 of SolomonH8010, and aroseH6965, and wentH3212, and caught holdH2388 on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196.
And it was toldH5046 SolomonH8010, sayingH559, Behold, AdonijahH138 fearethH3372 kingH4428 SolomonH8010: for, lo, he hath caught holdH270 on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196, sayingH559, Let kingH4428 SolomonH8010 swearH7650 unto me to dayH3117 that he will not slayH4191 his servantH5650 with the swordH2719.
And SolomonH8010 saidH559, If he will shew himself a worthyH2428 manH1121, there shall not an hairH8185 of him fallH5307 to the earthH776: but if wickednessH7451 shall be foundH4672 in him, he shall dieH4191.
So kingH4428 SolomonH8010 sentH7971, and they brought him downH3381 from the altarH4196. And he cameH935 and bowedH7812 himself to kingH4428 SolomonH8010: and SolomonH8010 saidH559 unto him, GoH3212 to thine houseH1004.

And the kingH4428 putH5414 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 in his room over the hostH6635: and ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 did the kingH4428 putH5414 in the room of AbiatharH54.
That the kingH4428 saidH559 unto NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, SeeH7200 now, I dwellH3427 in an houseH1004 of cedarH730, but the arkH727 of GodH430 dwellethH3427 withinH8432 curtainsH3407.
And NathanH5416 saidH559 to the kingH4428, GoH3212, doH6213 all that is in thine heartH3824; for the LORDH3068 is with thee.
And it came to pass that nightH3915, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto NathanH5416, sayingH559,
These be the namesH8034 of the mighty menH1368 whom DavidH1732 had: The TachmoniteH8461 that satH3427 in the seatH7675+H3429, chiefH7218 among the captainsH7991; the same was AdinoH5722 the EzniteH6112: he lift up his spear against eightH8083 hundredH3967, whom he slewH2491 at oneH259 timeH6471. {The Tachmonite…: or, Joshebbassebet the Tachmonite, head of the three. whom he…: Heb. slain. he lift…: See 1.Ch.11.11. whom he…: Heb. slain}
And afterH310 him was EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of DodoH1734 the AhohiteH266, one of the threeH7969 mighty menH1368 with DavidH1732, when they defiedH2778 the PhilistinesH6430 that were there gathered togetherH622 to battleH4421, and the menH376 of IsraelH3478 were gone awayH5927:
He aroseH6965, and smoteH5221 the PhilistinesH6430 untilH3588 his handH3027 was wearyH3021, and his handH3027 claveH1692 unto the swordH2719: and the LORDH3068 wroughtH6213 a greatH1419 victoryH8668 that dayH3117; and the peopleH5971 returnedH7725 afterH310 him only to spoilH6584.
And afterH310 him was ShammahH8048 the sonH1121 of AgeeH89 the HarariteH2043. And the PhilistinesH6430 were gathered togetherH622 into a troopH2416, where was a pieceH2513 of groundH7704 fullH4392 of lentilesH5742: and the peopleH5971 fledH5127 fromH6440 the PhilistinesH6430. {into…: or, for foraging}
But he stoodH3320 in the midstH8432 of the groundH2513, and defendedH5337 it, and slewH5221 the PhilistinesH6430: and the LORDH3068 wroughtH6213 a greatH1419 victoryH8668.
And threeH7969+H7970 of the thirtyH7970 chiefH7218 went downH3381, and cameH935 to DavidH1732 in the harvest timeH7105 unto the caveH4631 of AdullamH5725: and the troopH2416 of the PhilistinesH6430 pitchedH2583 in the valleyH6010 of RephaimH7497. {three…: or, the three captains over the thirty}
And DavidH1732 was then in an holdH4686, and the garrisonH4673 of the PhilistinesH6430 was then in BethlehemH1035.
And DavidH1732 longedH183, and saidH559, Oh that one would give me drinkH8248 of the waterH4325 of the wellH953 of BethlehemH1035, which is by the gateH8179!
And the threeH7969 mighty menH1368 brake throughH1234 the hostH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430, and drewH7579 waterH4325 out of the wellH953 of BethlehemH1035, that was by the gateH8179, and tookH5375 it, and broughtH935 it to DavidH1732: nevertheless he wouldH14 not drinkH8354 thereof, but poured it outH5258 unto the LORDH3068.
And he saidH559, Be it farH2486 from me, O LORDH3068, that I should doH6213 this: is not this the bloodH1818 of the menH582 that wentH1980 in jeopardy of their livesH5315? therefore he wouldH14 not drinkH8354 it. These things didH6213 these threeH7969 mighty menH1368.
And AbishaiH52, the brotherH251 of JoabH3097, the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, was chiefH7218 among threeH7992. And he lifted upH5782 his spearH2595 against threeH7969 hundredH3967, and slewH2491 them, and had the nameH8034 among threeH7969. {and slew them: Heb. slain}
Was he not most honourableH3513 of threeH7969? therefore he was their captainH8269: howbeit he attainedH935 not unto the first threeH7969.
And BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, the sonH1121 of a valiantH2428 manH376+H381, of KabzeelH6909, who had done manyH7227 actsH6467, he slewH5221 twoH8147 lionlike menH739 of MoabH4124: he went downH3381 also and slewH5221 a lionH738 in the midstH8432 of a pitH953 in timeH3117 of snowH7950: {who…: Heb. great of acts} {lionlike…: Heb. lion of God}
And he slewH2026 an EgyptianH4713, a goodlyH4758 manH376: and the EgyptianH4713 had a spearH2595 in his handH3027; but he went downH3381 to him with a staffH7626, and pluckedH1497 the spearH2595 out of the Egyptian'sH4713 handH3027, and slewH5221 him with his own spearH2595. {a goodly…: Heb. a man of countenance, or, sight: called I.Chr.I.23. a man of great stature}
These things didH6213 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and had the nameH8034 among threeH7969 mighty menH1368.
He was more honourableH3513 than the thirtyH7970, but he attainedH935 not to the first threeH7969. And DavidH1732 setH7760 him over his guardH4928. {more…: or, honourable among the thirty} {guard: or, council: Heb. at his command}
AsahelH6214 the brotherH251 of JoabH3097 was one of the thirtyH7970; ElhananH445 the sonH1121 of DodoH1734 of BethlehemH1035,

And the LORDH3068 sentH7971 NathanH5416 unto DavidH1732. And he cameH935 unto him, and saidH559 unto him, There were twoH8147 menH582 in oneH259 cityH5892; the oneH259 richH6223, and the otherH259 poorH7326.
The richH6223 man had exceedingH3966 manyH7235 flocksH6629 and herdsH1241:
But the poorH7326 man had nothing, save oneH259 littleH6996 ewe lambH3535, which he had boughtH7069 and nourished upH2421: and it grew upH1431 togetherH3162 with him, and with his childrenH1121; it did eatH398 of his own meatH6595, and drankH8354 of his own cupH3563, and layH7901 in his bosomH2436, and was unto him as a daughterH1323. {meat: Heb. morsel}
And there cameH935 a travellerH1982 unto the richH6223 manH376, and he sparedH2550 to takeH3947 of his own flockH6629 and of his own herdH1241, to dressH6213 for the wayfaring manH732 that was comeH935 unto him; but tookH3947 the poorH7326 man'sH376 lambH3535, and dressedH6213 it for the manH376 that was comeH935 to him.
And David'sH1732 angerH639 was greatlyH3966 kindledH2734 against the manH376; and he saidH559 to NathanH5416, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, the manH376 that hath doneH6213 this thing shall surelyH1121 dieH4194: {shall…: or, is worthy to die, or, is a son of death}
And he shall restoreH7999 the lambH3535 fourfoldH706, becauseH6118 he didH6213 this thingH1697, and becauseH834 he had no pityH2550.
And NathanH5416 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou art the manH376. Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over IsraelH3478, and I deliveredH5337 thee out of the handH3027 of SaulH7586;
And I gaveH5414 thee thy master'sH113 houseH1004, and thy master'sH113 wivesH802 into thy bosomH2436, and gaveH5414 thee the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and of JudahH3063; and if that had been too littleH4592, I would moreover have givenH3254 unto thee suchH2007 and such thingsH2007.
Wherefore hast thou despisedH959 the commandmentH1697 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 evilH7451 in his sightH5869? thou hast killedH5221 UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 with the swordH2719, and hast takenH3947 his wifeH802 to be thy wifeH802, and hast slainH2026 him with the swordH2719 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
Now therefore the swordH2719 shall neverH5704+H5769 departH5493 from thine houseH1004; becauseH6118 thou hast despisedH959 me, and hast takenH3947 the wifeH802 of UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 to be thy wifeH802.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will raise upH6965 evilH7451 against thee out of thine own houseH1004, and I will takeH3947 thy wivesH802 before thine eyesH5869, and giveH5414 them unto thy neighbourH7453, and he shall lieH7901 with thy wivesH802 in the sightH5869 of this sunH8121.
For thou didstH6213 it secretlyH5643: but I will doH6213 this thingH1697 before all IsraelH3478, and before the sunH8121.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto NathanH5416, I have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068. And NathanH5416 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, The LORDH3068 also hath put awayH5674 thy sinH2403; thou shalt not dieH4191.
HowbeitH657, because by this deedH1697 thou hast givenH5006 great occasionH5006 to the enemiesH341 of the LORDH3068 to blasphemeH5006, the childH1121 also that is bornH3209 unto thee shall surelyH4191 dieH4191.
And NathanH5416 departedH3212 unto his houseH1004. And the LORDH3068 struckH5062 the childH3206 that Uriah'sH223 wifeH802 bareH3205 unto DavidH1732, and it was very sickH605.
The familyH4940 of the houseH1004 of LeviH3878 apart, and their wivesH802 apart; the familyH4940 of ShimeiH8097 apart, and their wivesH802 apart; {of Shimei: or, of Simeon, as LXX}
These also are the chiefH7218 of the mighty menH1368 whom DavidH1732 had, who strengthenedH2388 themselves with him in his kingdomH4438, and with all IsraelH3478, to make him kingH4427, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 concerning IsraelH3478. {strengthened…: or, held strongly with him}
And this is the numberH4557 of the mighty menH1368 whom DavidH1732 had; JashobeamH3434, an HachmoniteH2453, the chiefH7218 of the captainsH7991+H7970: he lifted upH5782 his spearH2595 against threeH7969 hundredH3967 slainH2491 by him at oneH259 timeH6471. {an Hachmonite: or, son of Hachmoni}
And afterH310 him was EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of DodoH1734, the AhohiteH266, who was one of the threeH7969 mightiesH1368.
He was with DavidH1732 at PasdammimH6450, and there the PhilistinesH6430 were gathered togetherH622 to battleH4421, where was a parcelH2513 of groundH7704 fullH4392 of barleyH8184; and the peopleH5971 fledH5127 from beforeH6440 the PhilistinesH6430. {Pasdammim: also called, Ephesdammim I.Sam.17.1.}
And they setH3320 themselves in the midstH8432 of that parcelH2513, and deliveredH5337 it, and slewH5221 the PhilistinesH6430; and the LORDH3068 savedH3467 them by a greatH1419 deliveranceH8668. {set…: or, stood} {deliverance: or, salvation}
Now threeH7969 of the thirtyH7970 captainsH7218 went downH3381 to the rockH6697 to DavidH1732, into the caveH4631 of AdullamH5725; and the hostH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 encampedH2583 in the valleyH6010 of RephaimH7497. {three…: or, three captains over the thirty}
And DavidH1732 was then in the holdH4686, and the Philistines'H6430 garrisonH5333 was then at BethlehemH1035.
And DavidH1732 longedH183, and saidH559, Oh that one would give me drinkH8248 of the waterH4325 of the wellH953 of BethlehemH1035, that is at the gateH8179!
And the threeH7969 brake throughH1234 the hostH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430, and drewH7579 waterH4325 out of the wellH953 of BethlehemH1035, that was by the gateH8179, and tookH5375 it, and broughtH935 it to DavidH1732: but DavidH1732 wouldH14 not drinkH8354 of it, but poured it outH5258 to the LORDH3068,
And saidH559, My GodH430 forbidH2486 it me, that I should doH6213 this thingH2063: shall I drinkH8354 the bloodH1818 of these menH582 that have put their lives in jeopardyH5315? for with the jeopardy of their livesH5315 they broughtH935 it. Therefore he wouldH14 not drinkH8354 it. These things didH6213 these threeH7969 mightiestH1368. {that have…: Heb. with their lives?}
And AbishaiH52 the brotherH251 of JoabH3097, he was chiefH7218 of the threeH7969: for lifting upH5782 his spearH2595 against threeH7969 hundredH3967, he slewH2491 them, and had a nameH8034 among the threeH7969.
Of the threeH7969, he was more honourableH3513 than the twoH8147; for he was their captainH8269: howbeit he attainedH935 not to the first threeH7969.
BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, the sonH1121 of a valiantH2428 manH376 of KabzeelH6909, who had done manyH7227 actsH6467; he slewH5221 twoH8147 lionlike menH739 of MoabH4124: also he went downH3381 and slewH5221 a lionH738 inH8432 a pitH953 in a snowyH7950 dayH3117. {who had…: Heb. great of deeds}
And he slewH5221 an EgyptianH4713, a manH376 of great statureH4060, fiveH2568 cubitsH520 high; and in the Egyptian'sH4713 handH3027 was a spearH2595 like a weaver'sH707 beamH4500; and he went downH3381 to him with a staffH7626, and pluckedH1497 the spearH2595 out of the Egyptian'sH4713 handH3027, and slewH2026 him with his own spearH2595. {great…: Heb. measure}
These things didH6213 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and had the nameH8034 among the threeH7969 mightiesH1368.
BeholdH2009, he was honourableH3513 among the thirtyH7970, but attainedH935 not to the first threeH7969: and DavidH1732 setH7760 him over his guardH4928.
Also the valiant menH1368 of the armiesH2428 were, AsahelH6214 the brotherH251 of JoabH3097, ElhananH445 the sonH1121 of DodoH1734 of BethlehemH1035,

ElielH447, and ObedH5744, and JasielH3300 the MesobaiteH4677.
And BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 was over both the CherethitesH3774 and the PelethitesH6432; and David'sH1732 sonsH1121 were chief rulersH3548. {chief rulers: or, princes}
The thirdH7992 captainH8269 of the hostH6635 for the thirdH7992 monthH2320 was BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, a chiefH7218 priestH3548: and in his courseH4256 were twentyH6242 and fourH702 thousandH505. {chief…: or, principal officer}
This is that BenaiahH1141, who was mightyH1368 among the thirtyH7970, and above the thirtyH7970: and in his courseH4256 was AmmizabadH5990 his sonH1121.
But the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881, the sonsH1121 of ZadokH6659, that keptH8104 the chargeH4931 of my sanctuaryH4720 when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went astrayH8582 from me, they shall come nearH7126 to me to ministerH8334 unto me, and they shall standH5975 beforeH6440 me to offerH7126 unto me the fatH2459 and the bloodH1818, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069:
