{The Tachmonite...: or, Joshebbassebet the Tachmonite, head of the three} {whom he...: Heb. slain} {he lift...: from 1ch 11:11 whom he...: Heb. slain}

23:9

And after
<0310>

him [was] Eleazar
<0499>

the son
<01121>

of Dodo
<01734>

the Ahohite
<0266>_,

[one] of the three
<07969>

mighty men
<01368>

with David
<01732>_,

when they defied
<02778> (8763)

the Philistines
<06430>

[that] were there gathered together
<0622> (8738)

to battle
<04421>_,

and the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

were gone away
<05927> (8799)_:

23:10

He arose
<06965> (8804)_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

the Philistines
<06430>

until
<03588>

his hand
<03027>

was weary
<03021> (8804)_,

and his hand
<03027>

clave
<01692> (8799)

unto the sword
<02719>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

wrought
<06213> (8799)

a great
<01419>

victory
<08668>

that day
<03117>_;

and the people
<05971>

returned
<07725> (8799)

after
<0310>

him only to spoil
<06584> (8763)_.

23:11

And after
<0310>

him [was] Shammah
<08048>

the son
<01121>

of Agee
<089>

the Hararite
<02043>_.

And the Philistines
<06430>

were gathered together
<0622> (8735)

into a troop
<02416>_,

where was a piece
<02513>

of ground
<07704>

full
<04392>

of lentiles
<05742>_:

and the people
<05971>

fled
<05127> (8804)

from
<06440>

the Philistines
<06430>_.

{into...: or, for foraging}

23:12

But he stood
<03320> (8691)

in the midst
<08432>

of the ground
<02513>_,

and defended
<05337> (8686)

it, and slew
<05221> (8686)

the Philistines
<06430>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

wrought
<06213> (8799)

a great
<01419>

victory
<08668>_.

23:13

And three
<07969> (8675) <07970>

of the thirty
<07970>

chief
<07218>

went down
<03381> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to David
<01732>

in the harvest time
<07105>

unto the cave
<04631>

of Adullam
<05725>_:

and the troop
<02416>

of the Philistines
<06430>

pitched
<02583> (8802)

in the valley
<06010>

of Rephaim
<07497>_.

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

23:14

And David
<01732>

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

and the garrison
<04673>

of the Philistines
<06430>

[was] then [in] Bethlehem
<01035>_.

23:15

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>_,

which [is] by the gate
<08179>_!

23:16

And the three
<07969>

mighty men
<01368>

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>_:

nevertheless he would
<014> (8804)

not drink
<08354> (8800)

thereof, but poured it out
<05258> (8686)

unto the LORD
<03068>_.

23:17

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Be it far
<02486>

from me, O LORD
<03068>_,

that I should do
<06213> (8800)

this: [is not this] the blood
<01818>

of the men
<0582>

that went
<01980> (8802)

in jeopardy of their lives
<05315>_?

therefore he would
<014> (8804)

not drink
<08354> (8800)

it. These things did
<06213> (8804)

these three
<07969>

mighty men
<01368>_.

23:18

And Abishai
<052>_,

the brother
<0251>

of Joab
<03097>_,

the son
<01121>

of Zeruiah
<06870>_,

was chief
<07218>

among three
<07992>_.

And he lifted up
<05782> (8790)

his spear
<02595>

against three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>_,

[and] slew
<02491>

[them], and had the name
<08034>

among three
<07969>_.

{and slew them: Heb. slain}

23:19

Was he not most honourable
<03513> (8737)

of three
<07969>_?

therefore he was their captain
<08269>_:

howbeit he attained
<0935> (8804)

not unto the [first] three
<07969>_.
