1 Chronicles 11:1-19

11:1

Then all Israel
<03478>

gathered
<06908> (8735)

themselves to David
<01732>

unto Hebron
<02275>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, we [are] thy bone
<06106>

and thy flesh
<01320>_.

11:2

And moreover in time
<08543>

past
<08032>_,

even when Saul
<07586>

was king
<04428>_,

thou [wast] he that leddest out
<03318> (8688)

and broughtest in
<0935> (8688)

Israel
<03478>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto thee, Thou shalt feed
<07462> (8799)

my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

and thou shalt be ruler
<05057>

over my people
<01571>

Israel
<03478>_.

{in time...: Heb. both yesterday and the third day} {feed: or, rule}

11:3

Therefore came
<0935> (8799)

all the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>

to the king
<04428>

to Hebron
<02275>_;

and David
<01732>

made
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>

with them in Hebron
<02275>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_;

and they anointed
<04886> (8799)

David
<01732>

king
<04428>

over Israel
<03478>_,

according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

by
<03027>

Samuel
<08050>_.

{by: Heb. by the hand of}

11:4

And David
<01732>

and all Israel
<03478>

went
<03212> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

which [is] Jebus
<02982>_;

where the Jebusites
<02983>

[were], the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>_.

11:5

And the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jebus
<02982>

said
<0559> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

Thou shalt not come
<0935> (8799)

hither. Nevertheless David
<01732>

took
<03920> (8799)

the castle
<04686>

of Zion
<06726>_,

which [is] the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_.

11:6

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Whosoever smiteth
<05221> (8688)

the Jebusites
<02983>

first
<07223>

shall be chief
<07218>

and captain
<08269>_.

So Joab
<03097>

the son
<01121>

of Zeruiah
<06870>

went
<05927> (0)

first
<07223>

up
<05927> (8799)_,

and was chief
<07218>_.

{chief: Heb. head}

11:7

And David
<01732>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in the castle
<04679>_;

therefore they called
<07121> (8804)

it the city
<05892>

of David
<01732>_.

{it: that is, Zion}

11:8

And he built
<01129> (8799)

the city
<05892>

round about
<05439>_,

even from Millo
<04407>

round about
<05439>_:

and Joab
<03097>

repaired
<02421> (8762)

the rest
<07605>

of the city
<05892>_.

{repaired: Heb. revived}

11:9

So David
<01732>

waxed
<03212> (8799)

greater
<01980> (8800)

and greater
<01419>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

[was] with him. {waxed...: Heb. went in going and increasing}

11:10

These also [are] the chief
<07218>

of the mighty men
<01368>

whom David
<01732>

had, who strengthened
<02388> (8693)

themselves with him in his kingdom
<04438>_,

[and] with all Israel
<03478>_,

to make him king
<04427> (8687)_,

according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

concerning Israel
<03478>_.

{strengthened...: or, held strongly with him}

11:11

And this [is] the number
<04557>

of the mighty men
<01368>

whom David
<01732>

had; Jashobeam
<03434>_,

an Hachmonite
<02453>_,

the chief
<07218>

of the captains
<07991> (8675) <07970>_:

he lifted up
<05782> (8790)

his spear
<02595>

against three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

slain
<02491>

[by him] at one
<0259>

time
<06471>_.

{an Hachmonite: or, son of Hachmoni}

11:12

And after
<0310>

him [was] Eleazar
<0499>

the son
<01121>

of Dodo
<01734>_,

the Ahohite
<0266>_,

who [was one] of the three
<07969>

mighties
<01368>_.

11:13

He was with David
<01732>

at Pasdammim
<06450>_,

and there the Philistines
<06430>

were gathered together
<0622> (8738)

to battle
<04421>_,

where was a parcel
<02513>

of ground
<07704>

full
<04392>

of barley
<08184>_;

and the people
<05971>

fled
<05127> (8804)

from before
<06440>

the Philistines
<06430>_.

{Pasdammim: also called, Ephesdammim}

11:14

And they set
<03320> (8691)

themselves in the midst
<08432>

of [that] parcel
<02513>_,

and delivered
<05337> (8686)

it, and slew
<05221> (8686)

the Philistines
<06430>_;

and the LORD
<03068>

saved
<03467> (8686)

[them] by a great
<01419>

deliverance
<08668>_.

{set...: or, stood} {deliverance: or, salvation}

11:15

Now three
<07969>

of the thirty
<07970>

captains
<07218>

went down
<03381> (8799)

to the rock
<06697>

to David
<01732>_,

into the cave
<04631>

of Adullam
<05725>_;

and the host
<04264>

of the Philistines
<06430>

encamped
<02583> (8802)

in the valley
<06010>

of Rephaim
<07497>_.

{three...: or, three captains over the thirty}

11:16

And David
<01732>

[was] then in the hold
<04686>_,

and the Philistines
<06430>_'

garrison
<05333>

[was] then at Bethlehem
<01035>_.

11:17

And David
<01732>

longed
<0183> (8691)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Oh that one would give me drink
<08248> (8686)

of the water
<04325>

of the well
<0953>

of Bethlehem
<01035>_,

that [is] at the gate
<08179>_!

11:18

And the three
<07969>

brake through
<01234> (8799)

the host
<04264>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

and drew
<07579> (8799)

water
<04325>

out of the well
<0953>

of Bethlehem
<01035>_,

that [was] by the gate
<08179>_,

and took
<05375> (8799)

[it], and brought
<0935> (8686)

[it] to David
<01732>_:

but David
<01732>

would
<014> (8804)

not drink
<08354> (8800)

[of] it, but poured it out
<05258> (8762)

to the LORD
<03068>_,

11:19

And said
<0559> (8799)_,

My God
<0430>

forbid
<02486>

it me, that I should do
<06213> (8800)

this thing
<02063>_:

shall I drink
<08354> (8799)

the blood
<01818>

of these men
<0582>

that have put their lives in jeopardy
<05315>_?

for with [the jeopardy of] their lives
<05315>

they brought
<0935> (8689)

it. Therefore he would
<014> (8804)

not drink
<08354> (8800)

it. These things did
<06213> (8804)

these three
<07969>

mightiest
<01368>_.

{that have...: Heb. with their lives?}
