1 Chronicles 11:22

11:22 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a brave warrior from Kabzeel who performed great exploits. He struck down the two sons of Ariel of Moab; ¹  he also went down and killed a lion inside a cistern on a snowy day.

1 Chronicles 12:8

12:8 Some of the Gadites joined David at the stronghold in the desert. They were warriors who were trained for battle; they carried shields and spears. They were as fierce as lions and could run as quickly as gazelles across the hills. ² 

1 Chronicles 12:18

12:18 But a spirit ³  empowered ⁴  Amasai, the leader of the thirty warriors, and he said: ⁵ 

“We are yours, O David!

We support ⁶  you, O son of Jesse!

May you greatly prosper! ⁷ 

May those who help you prosper! ⁸ 

Indeed ⁹  your God helps you!”

So David accepted them and made them leaders of raiding bands.

1 Chronicles 17:21

17:21 And who is like your people, Israel, a unique nation ¹⁰  in the earth? Their God ¹¹  went to claim ¹²  a nation for himself! You made a name for yourself by doing great and awesome deeds ¹³  when you drove out ¹⁴  nations before your people whom you had delivered from the Egyptian empire and its gods. ¹⁵ 

[11:22]  ¹ tc Heb “the two of Ariel, Moab.” The precise meaning of אֲרִיאֵל (’ari’el) is uncertain; some read “warrior.” The present translation assumes that the word is a proper name and that בְּנֵי (bÿney, “sons of”) has accidentally dropped from the text by homoioarcton (note the preceding שְׁנֵי, shÿney).

[12:8]  ² tn Heb “warriors, men of battle for war, prepared with shield and spear, and [like] the face of a lion were their faces, and like gazelles on the hills to hurry.”

[12:18]  ³ tn Perhaps “the Spirit,” but the text has simply רוּחַ (ruakh) with no article (suggesting an indefinite reference).

[12:18]  ⁴ tn Heb “clothed.”

[12:18]  ⁵ tn The words “and he said” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[12:18]  ⁶ tn Heb “are with.”

[12:18]  ⁷ tn Heb “Peace, peace to you.” The Hebrew term שָׁלוֹם (shalom, “peace”) is repeated to emphasize degree.

[12:18]  ⁸ tn Heb “and peace to the one who helps you.”

[12:18]  ⁹ tn Or “for.”

[17:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “a nation, one.”

[17:21]  ⁵ tn Heb “whose God,” or “because God.” In the Hebrew text this clause is subordinated to what precedes. The clauses are separated in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[17:21]  ⁶ tn Heb “redeem” or “deliver.”

[17:21]  ⁷ tn Heb “to make for yourself a name [with] great and awesome [deeds].”

[17:21]  ⁸ tn Heb “to drive out.”

[17:21]  ⁹ tn Heb “from Egypt, nations.” The parallel text in 2 Sam 7:23 reads “from Egypt, nations and its gods.”
