¹And all Israel came to David in Chebron, saying, Behold, we [are] thy bones and thy flesh.

¹And all Israel came to David in Chebron, saying, Behold, we [are] your bones and your flesh.

²And heretofore when Saul was king, thou wast he that led Israel in and out, and the Lord of Israel said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be for a ruler over Israel.

²And heretofore when Saul was king, you were he that led Israel in and out, and the Lord of Israel said to you, You shall feed my people Israel, and you shall be for a ruler over Israel.

³And all the elders of Israel came to the king to Chebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Chebron before the Lord: and they anointed David to be king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord by Samuel.

⁴And the king and his men went to Jerusalem, this [is] Jebus; and there the Jebusites the inhabitants of the land said to David,

⁵Thou shalt not enter in hither. But he took the strong hold of Sion: this [is] the city of David.

⁵You shall not enter in hither. But he took the strong hold of Sion: this [is] the city of David.

⁶And David said, Whoever first smites the Jebusite, even he shall be chief and captain. And Joab the son of Saruia went up first, and became chief.

⁷And David dwelt in the strong hold; therefore he called it the city of David.

⁷And David lived in the strong hold; therefore he called it the city of David.

⁸And he fortified the city round about.

⁹And David continued to increase, and the Lord Almighty [was] with him.

¹⁰And these [are] the chiefs of the mighty men, whom David had, who strengthened [themselves] with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the Lord concerning Israel.

¹²And after him Eleazar son of Dodai, the Achochite: he was among the three mighty men.

¹³He was with David in Phasodamin, and the Philistines were gathered there to battle, and [there was] a portion of the field full of barley; and the people fled before the Philistines.

¹⁴And he stood in the midst of the portion, and rescued it, and smote the Philistines; and the Lord wrought a great deliverance.

¹⁴And he stood in the midst of the portion, and rescued it, and struck the Philistines; and the Lord wrought a great deliverance.

¹⁵And three of the thirty chiefs went down to the rock to David, to the cave of Odollam, and the camp of the Philistines [was] in the giants' valley.

¹⁶And David [was] then in the hold, and the garrison of the Philistines [was] then in Bethleem.

¹⁷And David longed, and said, Who will give me water to drink of the well of Bethleem, that is in the gate?

¹⁸And the three broke through the camp of the Philistines, and they drew water out of the well that was in Bethleem, which was in the gate, and they took it, and came to David: but David would not drink it, and poured it out to the Lord, and said,

¹⁹God forbid that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men with their lives? for with [the peril of] their lives they brought it. So he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty [men].

²⁰And Abisa the brother of Joab, he was chief of three: he drew his sword against three hundred slain at one time, and he had a name among the [second] three.

²¹He was more famous than the two [others] of the three, and he was chief [over] them; yet he reached not to the [first] three.

²²And Banaia the son of Jodae was the son of a mighty man: many [were] his acts for Cabasael: he smote two lion-like men of Moab, and he went down and smote a lion in a pit on a snowy day.

²³And he smote an Egyptian, a wonderful man five cubits [high]; and in the hand of the Egyptian [there was] a spear like a weavers' beam; and Banaia went down to him with a staff, and took the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.

²⁴These things did Banaia son of Jodae, and his name [was] among the three mighties.
