大卫做以色列人的王
11 以色列人都聚集到希伯仑来见大卫，对他说：“我们是你的骨肉同胞。 2 从前，即使扫罗做王的时候，率领以色列人出征打仗的仍是你。你的上帝耶和华也曾应许让你做祂以色列子民的牧者和首领。” 3 以色列的长老都到希伯仑见大卫王，大卫与他们在耶和华面前立约，他们膏立大卫做以色列的王，这应验了耶和华借撒母耳所说的话。 4 大卫和以色列众人来到耶路撒冷，即耶布斯。那时耶布斯人住在那里。 5 耶布斯人对大卫说：“你攻不进来。”可是，大卫攻取了锡安的堡垒，即后来的大卫城。 6 大卫说：“谁先攻打耶布斯人，谁就做元帅。”洗鲁雅的儿子约押首先进攻，于是就做了元帅。 7 大卫占据了堡垒，因此那堡垒就叫大卫城。 8 大卫又从米罗开始，在四围修建城墙，其余的部分由约押修建。 9 大卫日渐强盛，因为万军之耶和华与他同在。
大卫的勇士
10 以下是大卫手下众勇士的统领，他们和以色列百姓竭力拥护大卫做王，正如耶和华对以色列的应许。 11 大卫的勇士有哈革摩尼人雅朔班，他是三勇士之首，曾在一次交战中挥矛刺死了三百人。 12 其次是亚合人朵多的儿子以利亚撒，他是三勇士之一。 13 他曾在巴斯·达闵与大卫一起抵抗非利士人。那里有一块大麦田，以色列人战败逃跑， 14 他们却坚守阵地，奋勇杀敌。耶和华使以色列人大获全胜。 15 一次，三十位勇士中有三位到亚杜兰洞附近的磐石那里见大卫，当时非利士的军队驻扎在利乏音谷。 16 那时大卫留守在堡垒里，非利士人的驻军在伯利恒。 17 大卫渴了，说：“真想有人打一些伯利恒城门旁的井水给我喝！” 18 那三位勇士就冲过非利士人的营地，到伯利恒城门旁的井打水，带回来给大卫。大卫却不肯喝，他把水浇奠在耶和华面前， 19 说：“我的上帝啊！这三人冒死去打水，这些水就像是他们的血，我决不能喝。”因此，大卫不肯喝。这是三勇士的事迹。
20 约押的兄弟亚比筛是这三个勇士的统领，他曾挥矛刺死三百人，在三勇士中出了名， 21 最有声望，因此做了他们的统领，只是不及前三位勇士。
22 甲薛人耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅是位勇士，做过非凡的事。他曾杀死摩押的两个勇猛战士，也曾在下雪天跳进坑中杀死一头狮子， 23 还曾杀死一个两米多高的埃及巨人。当时埃及人拿着织布机轴般粗的长矛，比拿雅只拿着棍子迎战，他夺了对方的长矛，用那矛刺死了对方。 24 这是耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅的事迹，他在这三个勇士中出了名， 25 比那三十个勇士更有声望，只是不及前三位勇士。大卫派他做护卫长。
26 其他勇士有约押的兄弟亚撒黑、伯利恒人朵多的儿子伊勒哈难、 27 哈律人沙玛、比伦人希利斯、 28 提哥亚人益吉的儿子以拉、亚拿突人亚比以谢、 29 户沙人西比该、亚合人以莱、 30 尼陀法人玛哈莱、尼陀法人巴拿的儿子希立、 31 便雅悯支派基比亚人利拜的儿子以太、比拉顿人比拿雅、 32 迦实溪人户莱、亚拉巴人亚比、 33 巴路米人押斯玛弗、沙本人以利雅哈巴、 34 基孙人哈深的众子、哈拉人沙基的儿子约拿单、 35 哈拉人沙甲的儿子亚希暗、吾珥的儿子以利法勒、 36 米基拉人希弗、比伦人亚希雅、 37 迦密人希斯罗、伊斯拜的儿子拿莱、 38 拿单的兄弟约珥、哈基利的儿子弥伯哈、 39 亚扪人洗勒、为洗鲁雅的儿子约押拿兵器的比录人拿哈莱、 40 以帖人以拉、以帖人迦立、 41 赫人乌利亚、亚莱的儿子撒拔、 42 示撒的儿子亚第拿——吕便支派中率领三十人的首领、 43 玛迦的儿子哈难、弥特尼人约沙法、 44 亚施他拉人乌西亚、亚罗珥人何坦的儿子沙玛和耶利、 45 提洗人申利的儿子耶叠和他的兄弟约哈、 46 玛哈未人以利业、伊利拿安的儿子耶利拜和约沙未雅、摩押人伊特玛、 47 以利业、俄备得和米琐巴人雅西业。
1 Chronicles 11
New Century Version
David Becomes King
11 Then the people of Israel came to David at the town of Hebron and said, “Look, we are your own family. 2 Even when Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel in battle. The Lord your God said to you, ‘You will be the shepherd for my people Israel. You will be their leader.’”
3 So all the elders of Israel came to King David at Hebron. He made an agreement with them in Hebron in the presence of the Lord. Then they poured oil on David to make him king over Israel. The Lord had promised through Samuel that this would happen.
David Captures Jerusalem
4 David and all the Israelites went to the city of Jerusalem. At that time Jerusalem was called Jebus, and the people living there were named Jebusites. 5 They said to David, “You can’t get inside our city.” But David did take the city of Jerusalem with its strong walls, and it became the City of David.
6 David had said, “The person who leads the attack against the Jebusites will become the commander over all my army.” Joab son of Zeruiah led the attack, so he became the commander of the army.
7 Then David made his home in the strong, walled city, which is why it was named the City of David. 8 David rebuilt the city, beginning where the land was filled in and going to the wall that was around the city. Joab repaired the other parts of the city. 9 David became stronger and stronger, and the Lord All-Powerful was with him.
David’s Mighty Warriors
10 This is a list of the leaders over David’s warriors who helped make David’s kingdom strong. All the people of Israel also supported David’s kingdom. These heroes and all the people of Israel made David king, just as the Lord had promised.
11 This is a list of David’s warriors:
Jashobeam was from the Hacmonite people. He was the head of the Three,[a] David’s most powerful soldiers. He used his spear to fight three hundred men at one time, and he killed them all.
12 Next was Eleazar, one of the Three. Eleazar was Dodai’s son from the Ahohite people. 13 Eleazar was with David at Pas Dammim when the Philistines came there to fight. There was a field of barley at that place. The Israelites ran away from the Philistines, 14 but they stopped in the middle of that field and fought for it and killed the Philistines. The Lord gave them a great victory.
15 Once, three of the Thirty, David’s chief soldiers, came down to him at the rock by the cave near Adullam. At the same time the Philistine army had camped in the Valley of Rephaim.
16 At that time David was in a stronghold, and some of the Philistines were in Bethlehem. 17 David had a strong desire for some water. He said, “Oh, I wish someone would get me water from the well near the city gate of Bethlehem!” 18 So the Three broke through the Philistine army and took water from the well near the city gate in Bethlehem. Then they brought it to David, but he refused to drink it. He poured it out before the Lord, 19 saying, “May God keep me from drinking this water! It would be like drinking the blood of the men who risked their lives to bring it to me!” So David refused to drink it.
These were the brave things that the three warriors did.
20 Abishai brother of Joab was the captain of the Three. Abishai fought three hundred soldiers with his spear and killed them. He became as famous as the Three 21 and was more honored than the Three. He became their commander even though he was not one of them.
22 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a brave fighter from Kabzeel who did mighty things. He killed two of the best warriors from Moab. He also went down into a pit and killed a lion on a snowy day. 23 Benaiah killed an Egyptian who was about seven and one-half feet tall and had a spear as large as a weaver’s rod. Benaiah had a club, but he grabbed the spear from the Egyptian’s hand and killed him with his own spear. 24 These were the things Benaiah son of Jehoiada did. He was as famous as the Three. 25 He received more honor than the Thirty, but he did not become a member of the Three. David made him leader of his bodyguards.
