2 Samuel 23:13-39

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

<03097>_,

the son
<01121>

<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>_.

23:20

<0739>

a lion
<0738>

23:21

And he slew
<02026> (8799)

an Egyptian
<04713>_,

a goodly
<04758>

man
<0376>_:

and the Egyptian
<04713>

had a spear
<02595>

in his hand
<03027>_;

but he went down
<03381> (8799)

to him with a staff
<07626>_,

and plucked
<01497> (8799)

the spear
<02595>

out of the Egyptian's
<04713>

hand
<03027>_,

and slew
<05221> (8689)

him with his own spear
<02595>_.

{a goodly...: Heb. a man of countenance, or, sight: also called, a man of great stature}

23:23

He was more honourable
<03513> (8737)

than the thirty
<07970>_,

but he attained
<0935> (8804)

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