Maori Bible
9 Na, he mea whakapapa a Iharaira katoa; heoi, tena kua tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga kingi o Iharaira: na i whakaraua atu a Hura ki Papurona mo a ratou mahi he.
2 Na, ko nga tangata tuatahi i noho ki o ratou wahi, ki o ratou pa, ko Iharaira, ko nga tohunga, ko nga Riwaiti, ko nga Netinimi.
3 Na noho iho ki Hiruharama o nga tama a Hura, o nga tama a Pineamine, o nga tama a Eparaima raua ko Manahi;
4 Ko Utai tama a Amihuru, tama a Omori, tama a Imiri, tama a Pani: no nga tama a Parete tama a Hura.
5 A, o nga Hironi; ko Ahaia te matamua ratou ko ana tama.
6 O nga tama a Tera; ko Teuere ratou ko o ratou teina, e ono rau e iwa tekau.
7 O nga tama a Pineamine; ko Haru tama a Mehurama, tama a Horawia, tama a Hahenua;
8 Ko Ipineia tama a Ierohama, ko Eraha tama a Uti, tama a Mikiri, ko Mehurama tama a Hepatia, tama a Reuere, tama a Ipiniia;
9 Me o ratou teina ano hoki i o ratou whakatupuranga, e iwa rau e rima tekau ma ono. He upoko enei tangata katoa no nga whare o nga matua i nga whare o o ratou matua.
10 A, o nga tohunga; ko Ieraia, ko Tehoiaripi, ko Iakini;
11 Ko Ataria, tama a Hirikia, tama a Mehurama, tama a Haroko, tama a Meraioto, tama a Ahitupu; ko te rangatira ia o te whare o te Atua;
12 Ko Araia tama a Ierohama, tama a Pahuru, tama a Marakia, ko Maahiai tama a Ariere, tama a Tahatera, tama a Mehurama, tama a Mehiremiti, tama a Imere;
13 Me o ratou teina, nga upoko o nga whare o o ratou matua, kotahi mano e whitu rau e ono tekau, he tangata pakari rawa hei mahi i nga mahi o te whare o te Atua.
14 A, o nga Riwaiti; ko Hemaia tama a Hahupu, tama a Atarikama, tama a Hahapia; no nga tama a Merari;
15 Ko Pakapakakara, ko Herehe, ko Karara, ko Matania, tama a Mika, tama a Tikiri, tama a Ahapa;
16 Ko Oparia tama a Hemaia, tama a Karara, tama a Ierutunu, ko Perekia tama a Aha, tama a Erekana, i noho nei ki nga kainga koraha o nga Netopati.
17 Ko nga kaitiaki kuwaha, ko Harumu, ko Akupu, ko Taramono, ko Ahimana, me o ratou teina: ko Harumu te upoko;
18 Ko to ratou turanga i mua, kei te kuwaha o te kingi, kei te rawhiti: he kaitiaki kuwaha ratou i roto i nga ropu o nga tama a Riwai.
19 Na, ko Harumu tama a Kore, tama a Epiahapa, tama a Koraha, ratou ko ona teina o te whare o tona matua, ko nga Korahi, ko ratou nga rangatira o nga mahi e mahia ana, nga kaitiaki o nga kuwaha o te tapenakara: na, he rangatira o ratou matua no te ope a Ihowa, he kaitiaki ano no te tomokanga.
20 Na ko Pinehaha tama a Ereatara to ratou rangatira i mua; a i a ia ano a Ihowa.
21 Ko Hakaraia tama a Meheremia te kaitiaki o te kuwaha o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga.
22 Ko enei katoa i whiriwhiria nei hei kaitiaki mo nga kuwaha, e rua rau kotahi tekau ma rua. He mea whakapapa enei ki o ratou kainga ake; na Rawiri raua ko Hamuera matakite ratou i whakarite kia tuturu ki taua mahi.
23 I a ratou ko a ratou tama te mahi tirotiro i nga kuwaha o te whare o Ihowa, ara o te whare o te tapenakara i tenei tiakitanga, i tenei tiakitanga.
24 He kaitiaki kuwaha i nga taha e wha, whaka te rawhiti, whaka te hauauru, whaka te raki, whaka te tonga.
25 Na i whakaritea o ratou teina i o ratou kainga koraha kia haere mai i te takanga o nga ra e whitu, i ia wa, i ia wa, hei hoa mo ratou:
26 Ko nga tino kaitiaki tokowha hoki o te kuwaha, he Riwaiti nei ratou, he tuturu tonu ta ratou mahi, a ko ratou nga rangatira o nga ruma, o nga takotoranga taonga o te whare o te Atua.
27 He nohoanga hoki to ratou i nga taha o te whare o te Atua; ma ratou hoki te tiaki; ma ratou ano te uaki o nga tatau i tenei ata, i tenei ata.
28 Ko etahi hoki o ratou ki te tiaki i nga oko mo te mahi; tatau ai ina kawea mai ki roto, tatau ai ano ina mauria ki waho.
29 I whakaritea hoki etahi o ratou hei tiaki mo nga oko, mo nga mea mahi katoa ano o te wahi tapu, mo te paraoa, mo te waina, mo te hinu, mo te parakihe, mo nga mea kakara.
30 Ko etahi ano o nga tama a nga tohunga hei hanga i te hinu o nga mea kakara.
31 Na, ko Matitia, ko tetahi o nga Riwaiti, ko te matamua a Harumu Korahi, ko tana mahi tuturu ko te tirotiro i nga mea i tunua ki te rihi.
32 Na ko etahi o o ratou teina, o nga tama a nga Kohati, nga kaiwhakaaro ki te taro aroaro, kia oti te hanga i tenei hapati, i tenei hapati.
33 Ko nga kaiwaiata ano enei, ko nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua o nga Riwaiti, i noho ratou i roto i nga ruma, a i noho watea ratou i era atu mahi i ta ratou na mahi hoki ratou i te ao, i te po.
34 Na ko enei nga upoko o nga whare o nga matua o nga Riwaiti, ko nga upoko ano ratou i o ratou whakatupuranga: i noho enei ki Hiruharama.
35 I noho ano ki Kipeono te papa o Kipeono, a Teiere; ko te ingoa o tana wahine ko Maaka.
36 Na, ko tana matamua ko Aparono, ko Turu hoki, ko Kihi, ko Paara, ko Nere, ko Natapa;
37 Ko Keroro, ko Ahio, ko Hakaraia, ko Mikiroto.
38 Whanau ake ta Mikiroto, ko Himeana. I noho ano enei ki o ratou tuakana ki Hiruharama, ki te wahi e anga tonu ana ki o ratou tuakana.
39 Whanau ake ta Nere, ko Kihi; whanau ake ta Kihi, ko Haora; whanau ake ta Haora, ko Honatana, ko Marihihua, ko Apinarapa, ko Ehepaara.
40 Ko te tama a Honatana, ko Meripaara: whanau ake ta Meripaara, ko Mika.
41 Na, ko nga tama a Mika; ko Pitono, ko Mereke, ko Taharea, ko Ahata.
42 Whanau ake ta Ahata, ko Iaraha; whanau ake ta Iaraha ko Aremete, ko Atamawete, ko Timiri; whanau ake ta Timiri, ko Mota;
43 Whanau ake ta Mota, ko Pinea; ko tana tama ko Repaia; ko tana tama ko Ereaha; ko tana tama ko Atere.
44 Na tokoono nga tama a Atere, ko o ratou ingoa enei; ko Atarikama, ko Pokeru, ko Ihimaera, ko Hearia, ko Oparia, ko Hanana: ko nga tama enei a Atere.
10 Na kua whawhai nga Pirihitini ki a Iharaira; a ka whati nga tangata o Iharaira i te aroaro o nga Pirihitini, a hinga ana, mate rawa, i Maunga Kiripoa.
2 Na ka whaia e nga Pirihitini a Haora ratou ko ana tama; a patua iho e nga Pirihitini a Honatana ratou ko Apinarapa, ko Marikihua, nga tama a Haora.
3 Na kua taikaha haere te whawhai ki a Haora, a kua mau ia i nga kaikopere; a kua he tona manawa i nga kaikopere.
4 Katahi a Haora ka mea ki tana kaimau patu, Unuhia tau hoari, werohia hoki ahau; kei haere mai tenei hunga kokotikore, kei whakatupu kino i ahau. Otiia kihai i pai tana kaimau patu; he nui hoki no tona hopohopo. Heoi ka mau a Haora ki tana hoari, hinga iho ana ki runga.
5 A, no te kitenga o tana kaimau patu kua mate a Haora, ka hinga hoki ia ki runga ki tana hoari, a ka mate.
6 Heoi ka mate a Haora me ana tama tokotoru; mate tahi ana tona whare katoa.
7 A, no te kitenga o nga tangata katoa o Iharaira i te raorao kua whati ratou, kua mate hoki a Haora ratou ko ana tama, whakarerea ake e ratou o ratou pa, a rere ana; na ka haere mai nga Pirihitini, a nohoia iho e ratou.
8 A, i te aonga ake, i te haerenga mai o nga Pirihitini ki te muru i te hunga i patua, na ka kitea a Haora ratou ko ana tama e takoto ana i runga i Maunga Kiripoa.
9 Na huia ana ona e ratou, tangohia ana tona upoko me ana patu, tukua ana kia kawea puta noa i te whenua o nga Pirihitini a tawhio noa, kia kauwhautia ki a ratou whakapakoko, ki te iwi.
10 I whakatakotoria hoki e ratou ana patu ki te whare o o ratou atua, a ko tona upoko titia ake e ratou ki te whare o Rakono.
11 A, no te rongonga o Iapehe Kireara katoa ki nga mea katoa i mea ai nga Pirihitini ki a Haora,
12 Ka whakatika nga marohirohi katoa, tangohia iho e ratou te tinana o Haora, me nga tinana o ana tama, kawea ana ki Iapehe, tanumia ana o ratou wheua ki raro i tetahi oki i Iapehe, a e whitu nga ra i nohopuku ai ratou.
13 Heoi kua mate a Haora mo tona he i he ai ia ki a Ihowa, mo te kupu a Ihowa kihai nei i puritia e ia; mona hoki i ui ki tetahi, i a ia nei te atua maori, he rapu whakaaro,
14 A kihai i rapu whakaaro i a Ihowa: no reira i whakamatea ai ia e ia, a hurihia ketia ana te kingitanga ki a Rawiri tama a Hehe.
11 Na ka huihui a Iharaira katoa ki a Rawiri ki Heperona, a ka mea, Tenei matou, he wheua nou, he kikokiko nou.
2 I mua ake nei, i te mea ano ko Haora te kingi, ko koe te kaikawe atu, te kaikawe mai, i a Iharaira: kua korerotia ano koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, Ko koe hei hepara mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira, ko koe ano hei tino tangata mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira.
3 Na ka haere nga kaumatua katoa o Iharaira ki te kingi, ki Heperona, ka whakarite kawenata a Rawiri ki a ratou ki Heperona ki te aroaro o Ihowa: a whakawahia ana e ratou a Rawiri hei kingi mo Iharaira, ko ta Ihowa hoki i ki ai, ara ko ta Hamuera.
4 Na ka haere a Rawiri ratou ko Iharaira katoa ki Hiruharama, ara ki Iepuhu; i reira ano nga Iepuhi, nga tangata whenua.
5 Na ka mea nga tangata o Iepuhu ki a Rawiri, E kore koe e tae mai ki konei. Heoi kua riro i a Rawiri te pourewa i Hiona; ko te pa ia o Rawiri.
6 Na ka mea a Rawiri, Ko te tangata mana te patu tuatahi ki nga Iepuhi, hei tino tangata ia, hei rangatira. Na ko Ioapa tama a Teruia kua tae wawe, a meinga ana ko ia te tino tangata.
7 Na ka noho a Rawiri ki te pourewa; koia i huaina ai e ratou a reira ko te pa o Rawiri.
8 A i hanga e ia te pa a tawhio noa, o Miro mai a taka noa; a na Ioapa i whakaora tera atu wahi o te pa.
9 Na ka tino nui haere a Rawiri, i a ia hoki a Ihowa, te Atua o nga mano.
10 Na ko nga tino tangata enei a Rawiri, i kaha rawa nei me ia mo tona rangatiratanga, ratou ko Iharaira katoa, hei whakakingi i a ia; hei pera me ta Ihowa i ki ai mo Iharaira.
11 A ko te tokomaha tenei o nga marohirohi a Rawiri: ko Iahopeama, tama a tetahi Hakamoni, te rangatira o te toru tekau; i ara ake tana tao ki nga rau e toru a patua iho e ia i te whakaekenga kotahi.
12 I muri i a ia ko Ereatara tama a Roro Ahohi; ko ia tetahi o nga marohirohi tokotoru.
13 I a Rawiri ia i Paharamime, a i huihui nga Pirihitini ki reira ki te whawhai, a i reira tetahi wahi whenua e kapi ana i te parei; na kua rere te iwi i te aroaro o nga Pirihitini.
14 Na tu ana raua i waenganui o taua wahi, a ka mau i a raua, patua iho e raua nga Pirihitini: na nui atu te whakaoranga i whakaora ai a Ihowa.
15 Na ka haere nga rangatira tokotoru, no te toru tekau, ki raro, ki te kamaka ki a Rawiri, ki te ana o Aturama: a ko te ope o nga Pirihitini i te raroraro i Repaima e noho a puni ana.
16 Na i roto a Rawiri i te pourewa i taua wa, a ko nga hoia pupuri a nga Pirihitini i Peterehema i taua wa.
17 Na ka minamina a Rawiri, a ka mea, Aue, me he tangata hei mea wai mai moku i te puna i Peterehema, i tera i te kuwaha!
18 Na tika ana taua tokotoru na waenganui o te puni o nga Pirihitini, a utuhia mai ana he wai i te puna o Peterehema, i tera i te kuwaha; tangohia ana e ratou, mauria ana ki a Rawiri: otiia kihai a Rawiri i pai ki te inu, engari ringihia ana e ia h ei mea ki a Ihowa.
19 I mea ia, Aue, ma toku Atua ahau e arai kei mea i tenei! kia inumia koia e ahau nga toto o enei tangata, me i kotahi nei kua mate? me i kotahi hoki ratou kua mate i te tikinga atu. Na reira i kore ai ia i pai ki te inu. Ko enei nga mahi a aua to a tokotoru.
20 Na ko Apihai teina o Ioapa te rangatira o taua tokotoru; i ara ake tana tao ki nga rau e toru, patua iho e ia; i whai ingoa ia i roto i te tokotoru.
21 O te tokotoru, nui atu tona kororia i to te tokorua, a meinga ana ko ia hei rangatira mo ratou: otiia kihai ia i uru ki te tokotoru tuatahi.
22 Me Penaia tama a Iehoiara, he tama na tetahi tangata toa o Kapateere, he nui ana mahi, nana i patu nga tama tokorua a Ariere o Moapa; i haere ano ia ki raro, a patua ana e ia tetahi raiona i roto i te rua i te wa o te hukarere.
23 Nana hoki tetahi Ihipiana i patu, he tangata nui, e rima nga whatianga te roa: he tao ano i te ringa o taua Ihipiana koia ano kei te rakau a te kaiwhatu; na haere ana ia ki raro, ki a ia, he tokotoko hoki tana, a kapohia ana e ia te tao i roto i te ringa o te Ihipiana, patua iho ia ki tana tao ano.
24 Na Penaia tama a Iehoiara enei mahi; i whai ingoa ano ia i nga toa tokotoru.
25 Na, nona te kororia nui o te toru tekau; otiia kihai ia i uru ki te tokotoru tuatahi. Na meinga ana ia e Rawiri hei rangatira mo ana kaitiaki.
26 Me nga maia hoki o nga ope; ko Atahere teina o Ioapa, ko Erehanana tama a Roro o Peterehema,

1 Chronicles 9-11
New International Version
1 Chronicles 9-11
New International Version
9 All Israel(A) was listed in the genealogies recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. They were taken captive to Babylon(B) because of their unfaithfulness.(C)
The People in Jerusalem(D)
2 Now the first to resettle on their own property in their own towns(E) were some Israelites, priests, Levites and temple servants.(F)
3 Those from Judah, from Benjamin, and from Ephraim and Manasseh who lived in Jerusalem were:
4 Uthai son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, a descendant of Perez son of Judah.(G)
5 Of the Shelanites[a]:
Asaiah the firstborn and his sons.
6 Of the Zerahites:
Jeuel.
The people from Judah numbered 690.
7 Of the Benjamites:
Sallu son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenuah;
8 Ibneiah son of Jeroham; Elah son of Uzzi, the son of Mikri; and Meshullam son of Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah.
9 The people from Benjamin, as listed in their genealogy, numbered 956. All these men were heads of their families.
10 Of the priests:
Jedaiah; Jehoiarib; Jakin;
11 Azariah son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the official in charge of the house of God;
12 Adaiah son of Jeroham, the son of Pashhur,(H) the son of Malkijah; and Maasai son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer.
13 The priests, who were heads of families, numbered 1,760. They were able men, responsible for ministering in the house of God.
14 Of the Levites:
Shemaiah son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, a Merarite; 15 Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal and Mattaniah(I) son of Mika, the son of Zikri, the son of Asaph; 16 Obadiah son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun; and Berekiah son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites.(J)
17 The gatekeepers:(K)
Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman and their fellow Levites, Shallum their chief 18 being stationed at the King’s Gate(L) on the east, up to the present time. These were the gatekeepers belonging to the camp of the Levites. 19 Shallum(M) son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his fellow gatekeepers from his family (the Korahites) were responsible for guarding the thresholds of the tent just as their ancestors had been responsible for guarding the entrance to the dwelling of the Lord. 20 In earlier times Phinehas(N) son of Eleazar was the official in charge of the gatekeepers, and the Lord was with him. 21 Zechariah(O) son of Meshelemiah was the gatekeeper at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
22 Altogether, those chosen to be gatekeepers(P) at the thresholds numbered 212. They were registered by genealogy in their villages. The gatekeepers had been assigned to their positions of trust by David and Samuel the seer.(Q) 23 They and their descendants were in charge of guarding the gates of the house of the Lord—the house called the tent of meeting. 24 The gatekeepers were on the four sides: east, west, north and south. 25 Their fellow Levites in their villages had to come from time to time and share their duties for seven-day(R) periods. 26 But the four principal gatekeepers, who were Levites, were entrusted with the responsibility for the rooms and treasuries(S) in the house of God. 27 They would spend the night stationed around the house of God,(T) because they had to guard it; and they had charge of the key(U) for opening it each morning.
28 Some of them were in charge of the articles used in the temple service; they counted them when they were brought in and when they were taken out. 29 Others were assigned to take care of the furnishings and all the other articles of the sanctuary,(V) as well as the special flour and wine, and the olive oil, incense and spices. 30 But some(W) of the priests took care of mixing the spices. 31 A Levite named Mattithiah, the firstborn son of Shallum the Korahite, was entrusted with the responsibility for baking the offering bread. 32 Some of the Kohathites, their fellow Levites, were in charge of preparing for every Sabbath the bread set out on the table.(X)
33 Those who were musicians,(Y) heads of Levite families, stayed in the rooms of the temple and were exempt from other duties because they were responsible for the work day and night.(Z)
34 All these were heads of Levite families, chiefs as listed in their genealogy, and they lived in Jerusalem.
The Genealogy of Saul(AA)
35 Jeiel(AB) the father[b] of Gibeon lived in Gibeon.
His wife’s name was Maakah, 36 and his firstborn son was Abdon, followed by Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab, 37 Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah and Mikloth. 38 Mikloth was the father of Shimeam. They too lived near their relatives in Jerusalem.
39 Ner(AC) was the father of Kish,(AD) Kish the father of Saul, and Saul the father of Jonathan,(AE) Malki-Shua, Abinadab and Esh-Baal.[c](AF)
40 The son of Jonathan:
Merib-Baal,[d](AG) who was the father of Micah.
41 The sons of Micah:
Pithon, Melek, Tahrea and Ahaz.[e]
42 Ahaz was the father of Jadah, Jadah[f] was the father of Alemeth, Azmaveth and Zimri, and Zimri was the father of Moza. 43 Moza was the father of Binea; Rephaiah was his son, Eleasah his son and Azel his son.
44 Azel had six sons, and these were their names:
Azrikam, Bokeru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah and Hanan. These were the sons of Azel.
Saul Takes His Life(AH)
10 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; the Israelites fled before them, and many fell dead on Mount Gilboa. 2 The Philistines were in hot pursuit of Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab and Malki-Shua. 3 The fighting grew fierce around Saul, and when the archers overtook him, they wounded him.
4 Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run me through, or these uncircumcised fellows will come and abuse me.”
But his armor-bearer was terrified and would not do it; so Saul took his own sword and fell on it. 5 When the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his sword and died. 6 So Saul and his three sons died, and all his house died together.
7 When all the Israelites in the valley saw that the army had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their towns and fled. And the Philistines came and occupied them.
8 The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. 9 They stripped him and took his head and his armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news among their idols and their people. 10 They put his armor in the temple of their gods and hung up his head in the temple of Dagon.(AI)
11 When all the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead(AJ) heard what the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 all their valiant men went and took the bodies of Saul and his sons and brought them to Jabesh. Then they buried their bones under the great tree in Jabesh, and they fasted seven days.
13 Saul died(AK) because he was unfaithful(AL) to the Lord; he did not keep(AM) the word of the Lord and even consulted a medium(AN) for guidance, 14 and did not inquire of the Lord. So the Lord put him to death and turned(AO) the kingdom(AP) over to David son of Jesse.
David Becomes King Over Israel(AQ)
11 All Israel(AR) came together to David at Hebron(AS) and said, “We are your own flesh and blood. 2 In the past, even while Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel on their military campaigns.(AT) And the Lord your God said to you, ‘You will shepherd(AU) my people Israel, and you will become their ruler.(AV)’”
3 When all the elders of Israel had come to King David at Hebron, he made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord, and they anointed(AW) David king over Israel, as the Lord had promised through Samuel.
David Conquers Jerusalem(AX)
4 David and all the Israelites marched to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus). The Jebusites(AY) who lived there 5 said to David, “You will not get in here.” Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion—which is the City of David.
6 David had said, “Whoever leads the attack on the Jebusites will become commander in chief.” Joab(AZ) son of Zeruiah went up first, and so he received the command.
7 David then took up residence in the fortress, and so it was called the City of David. 8 He built up the city around it, from the terraces[g](BA) to the surrounding wall, while Joab restored the rest of the city. 9 And David became more and more powerful,(BB) because the Lord Almighty was with him.
David’s Mighty Warriors(BC)
10 These were the chiefs of David’s mighty warriors—they, together with all Israel,(BD) gave his kingship strong support to extend it over the whole land, as the Lord had promised(BE)— 11 this is the list of David’s mighty warriors:(BF)
Jashobeam,[h] a Hakmonite, was chief of the officers[i]; he raised his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed in one encounter.
12 Next to him was Eleazar son of Dodai the Ahohite, one of the three mighty warriors. 13 He was with David at Pas Dammim when the Philistines gathered there for battle. At a place where there was a field full of barley, the troops fled from the Philistines. 14 But they took their stand in the middle of the field. They defended it and struck the Philistines down, and the Lord brought about a great victory.(BG)
15 Three of the thirty chiefs came down to David to the rock at the cave of Adullam, while a band of Philistines was encamped in the Valley(BH) of Rephaim. 16 At that time David was in the stronghold,(BI) and the Philistine garrison was at Bethlehem. 17 David longed for water and said, “Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!” 18 So the Three broke through the Philistine lines, drew water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem and carried it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured(BJ) it out to the Lord. 19 “God forbid that I should do this!” he said. “Should I drink the blood of these men who went at the risk of their lives?” Because they risked their lives to bring it back, David would not drink it.
Such were the exploits of the three mighty warriors.
20 Abishai(BK) the brother of Joab was chief of the Three. He raised his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed, and so he became as famous as the Three. 21 He was doubly honored above the Three and became their commander, even though he was not included among them.
22 Benaiah son of Jehoiada, a valiant fighter from Kabzeel,(BL) performed great exploits. He struck down Moab’s two mightiest warriors. He also went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion.(BM) 23 And he struck down an Egyptian who was five cubits[j] tall. Although the Egyptian had a spear like a weaver’s rod(BN) in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club. He snatched the spear from the Egyptian’s hand and killed him with his own spear. 24 Such were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada; he too was as famous as the three mighty warriors. 25 He was held in greater honor than any of the Thirty, but he was not included among the Three.
