Chinese New Version (Traditional)
大衛受膏作猶大王(A)
11 那時，以色列眾人聚集到希伯崙去見大衛，說：“看哪，我們原是你的骨肉。 2 從前掃羅作王的時候，是你率領以色列人出入征戰；耶和華你的 神曾對你說過：‘你要牧養我的人民以色列，你要作我的人民以色列的領袖。’” 3 於是以色列的眾長老都來到希伯崙見大衛王，大衛就在希伯崙，在耶和華面前與他們立約，他們就按照耶和華藉著撒母耳所說的話，膏立大衛作王治理以色列。
大衛攻取耶路撒冷(B)
4 大衛和以色列眾人來到耶路撒冷，耶路撒冷就是耶布斯。那時，當地的居民耶布斯人住在那裡。 5 耶布斯的居民對大衛說：“你不能進這裡來。”可是大衛佔領了錫安的堡壘，錫安就是大衛城。 6 大衛說：“誰首先攻打耶布斯人，誰就必作首領和元帥。”洗魯雅的兒子約押首先上去，就作了首領。 7 大衛住在堡壘中，因此人把那堡壘稱為大衛城。 8 大衛又重建四周的城牆，從米羅起，以至城的周圍；那城其餘的部分由約押修建。 9 大衛日漸強盛，因為萬軍之耶和華與他同在。
大衛的勇士(C)
10 以下這些人是大衛眾勇士的首領，就是全力幫助他得國的，又與以色列人照著耶和華對以色列人所說的話一同立他作王。 11 這是大衛眾勇士的數目：哈革摩尼的兒子雅朔班，是軍官（“軍官”或譯：“三十（勇士）”；《七十士譯本》的一些抄本作“三（勇士）”）的首領；他揮舞矛槍，只一次就殺死了三百人。 12 其次是亞合人朵多的兒子以利亞撒，他是三勇士之一； 13 他從前與大衛在巴斯．達閔，非利士人聚集在那裡預備作戰。那裡有塊長滿大麥的田；眾人從非利士人面前逃跑了。 14 他們卻站在那塊田中間，保護了那塊田，擊殺了非利士人；這樣耶和華拯救了以色列人，使他們獲得極大的勝利。
15 三十個首領中有三個，下到亞杜蘭洞附近的磐石那裡去見大衛；非利士人的軍隊在利乏音谷安營。 16 那時大衛在山寨中，非利士人的駐軍在伯利恆。 17 大衛渴望說：“誰能把伯利恆城門旁邊池中的水，拿來給我喝！” 18 這三個勇士就衝過非利士人的軍營，從伯利恆城門旁邊的池裡取水，帶到大衛那裡去，大衛卻不肯喝，把水傾在耶和華面前， 19 說：“在我的 神面前，我絕對不可以這樣作，我怎能喝這些冒生命危險的人的血呢？因為這是他們冒生命危險取回來的。”因此大衛不肯喝這水。這是三個勇士所行的事。
20 約押的兄弟亞比篩，是三個勇士的首領；他揮舞矛槍刺死了三百人，因此在三個勇士中贏得了名聲。 21 他在這三個勇士中，是最尊貴的，所以作他們的首領；只是還不及前三個勇士。
22 耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅，是甲薛族的勇士，曾有偉大的作為；他擊殺了摩押人亞利伊勒的兩個兒子，又在下雪的日子，下到坑中去擊殺了一隻獅子。 23 他又殺死了一個身高兩百多公分的埃及人。這埃及人手裡拿著矛槍，好像織布機軸，比拿雅只拿著棍子下去會他，竟從那埃及人手中把矛槍奪了過來，再用他的矛槍把他殺死。 24 這是耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅所行的事，因此在三個勇士中贏得名聲。 25 他比那三十個勇士更有聲望，只是還不及前三個勇士。大衛立他作侍衛長。
26 軍中勇士有約押的兄弟亞撒黑、伯利恆人朵多的兒子伊勒哈難、 27 哈如珥（“哈如珥”是“哈律”的另一種寫法；參撒下23:25）人沙瑪、比倫人希利斯、 28 提哥亞人益吉的兒子以拉、亞拿突人亞比以謝、 29 戶沙人亞比該、亞合人以來、 30 尼陀法人瑪哈萊、尼陀法人巴拿的兒子希立、 31 便雅憫子孫基比亞人利拜的兒子以太、比拉頓人比拿雅、 32 來自迦實溪的戶萊、亞拉巴人亞比、 33 巴路米人押斯瑪弗、沙本人以利雅哈巴、 34 基孫人哈深的眾子，哈拉人沙基的兒子約拿單， 35 哈拉人沙甲的兒子亞希暗、吾珥的兒子以利法勒， 36 米基拉人希弗、比倫人亞希雅、 37 迦密人希斯羅、伊斯拜的兒子拿萊、 38 拿單的兄弟約珥、哈基利的兒子彌伯哈、 39 亞捫人洗勒、比錄人拿哈萊；拿哈萊是替洗魯雅的兒子約押拿兵器的。 40 以帖人以拉、以帖人迦立、 41 赫人烏利亞、亞萊的兒子撒拔、 42 流本支派示撒的兒子亞第拿，他是流本支派的一個首領，有三十人跟隨他。 43 瑪迦的兒子哈難、彌特尼人約沙法、 44 亞施他拉人烏西亞、亞羅珥人何坦的兒子沙瑪和耶利、 45 提洗人申利的兒子耶疊和他的兄弟約哈、 46 瑪哈未人以利業、伊利拿安的兒子耶利拜和約沙未雅、摩押人伊特瑪、 47 以利業、俄備得和米瑣八人雅西業。
1 Chronicles 11
Living Bible
11 Then the leaders of Israel went to David at Hebron and told him, “We are your relatives,[a] 2 and even when Saul was king, you were the one who led our armies to battle and brought them safely back again. And the Lord your God has told you, ‘You shall be the shepherd of my people Israel. You shall be their king.’”
3 So David made a contract with them before the Lord, and they anointed him as king of Israel, just as the Lord had told Samuel. 4 Then David and the leaders went to Jerusalem (or Jebus, as it used to be called) where the Jebusites—the original inhabitants of the land—lived. 5-6 But the people of Jebus refused to let them enter the city. So David captured the fortress of Zion, later called the City of David, and said to his men, “The first man to kill a Jebusite shall be made commander-in-chief!” Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was the first, so he became the general of David’s army. 7 David lived in the fortress and that is why that area of Jerusalem is called the City of David. 8 He extended the city out around the fortress while Joab rebuilt the rest of Jerusalem. 9 And David became more and more famous and powerful, for the Lord of the heavens was with him.
10 These are the names of some of the bravest of David’s warriors (who also encouraged the leaders of Israel to make David their king, as the Lord had said would happen):
11 Jashobeam (the son of a man from Hachmon) was the leader of The Top Three—the three greatest heroes among David’s men. He once killed 300 men with his spear.
12 The second of The Top Three was Eleazar, the son of Dodo, a member of the subclan of Ahoh. 13 He was with David in the battle against the Philistines at Pasdammim. The Israeli army was in a barley field and had begun to run away, 14 but he held his ground in the middle of the field, and recovered it and slaughtered the Philistines; and the Lord saved them with a great victory.
15 Another time, three of The Thirty[b] went to David while he was hiding in the cave of Adullam. The Philistines were camped in the valley of Rephaim, 16 and David was in the stronghold at the time; an outpost of the Philistines had occupied Bethlehem. 17 David wanted a drink from the Bethlehem well beside the gate, and when he mentioned this to his men, 18-19 these three broke through to the Philistine camp, drew some water from the well, and brought it back to David. But he refused to drink it! Instead he poured it out as an offering to the Lord and said, “God forbid that I should drink it! It is the very blood of these men who risked their lives to get it.”
20 Abishai, Joab’s brother, was commander of The Thirty. He had gained his place among The Thirty by killing 300 men at one time with his spear. 21 He was the chief and the most famous of The Thirty, but he was not as great as The Three.
22 Benaiah, whose father was a mighty warrior from Kabzeel, killed the two famous giants[c] from Moab. He also killed a lion in a slippery pit when there was snow on the ground. 23 Once he killed an Egyptian who was seven and a half feet tall, whose spear was as thick as a weaver’s beam. But Benaiah went up to him with only a club in his hand, and pulled the spear away from him and used it to kill him. 24-25 He was nearly as great as The Three, and he was very famous among The Thirty. David made him captain of his bodyguard.
26-47 Other famous warriors among David’s men were:
Asahel (Joab’s brother);
Elhanan, the son of Dodo from Bethlehem;
Shammoth from Harod;
Helez from Pelon;
Ira (son of Ikkesh) from Tekoa;
Abiezer from Anathoth;
Sibbecai from Hushath;
Ilai from Ahoh;
Maharai from Netophah;
Heled (son of Baanah) from Netophah;
Ithai (son of Ribai) a Benjaminite from Gibeah;
Benaiah from Pirathon;
Hurai from near the brooks of Gaash;
Abiel from Arbath;
Azmaveth from Baharum;
Eliahba from Shaalbon;
The sons[d] of Hashem from Gizon;
Jonathan (son of Shagee) from Harar;
Ahiam (son of Sacher) from Harar;
Eliphal (son of Ur);
Hepher from Mecherath;
Ahijah from Pelon;
Hezro from Carmel;
Naarai (son of Ezbai);
Joel (brother of Nathan);
Mibhar (son of Hagri);
Zelek from Ammon;
Naharai from Beeroth—he was General Joab’s armor bearer;
Ira from Ithra;
Gareb from Ithra;
Uriah the Hittite;
Zabad (son of Ahlai);
Adina (son of Shiza) from the tribe of Reuben—he was among the thirty-one leaders of the tribe of Reuben;
Hanan (son of Maacah);
Joshaphat from Mithna;
Uzzia from Ashterath;
Shama and Jeiel (sons of Hotham) from Aroer;
Jediael (son of Shimri);
Joha (his brother) from Tiza;
Eliel from Mahavi;
Jeribai and Joshaviah (sons of Elnaam);
Ithmah from Moab;
Eliel; Obed; Jaasiel from Mezoba.

New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 11
David Is Made King. 1 (A)Then all Israel gathered around David in Hebron, and they said: “Look! We are your bone and your flesh. 2 In days past, when Saul was still the king, it was you who led Israel in all its battles. And now the Lord, your God, has said to you: You shall shepherd my people Israel; you shall be ruler over my people Israel.”(B) 3 Then all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and at Hebron David made a covenant with them in the presence of the Lord; and they anointed David king over Israel, in accordance with the word of the Lord given through Samuel.(C)
Jerusalem Captured. 4 Then David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, that is, Jebus, where the inhabitants of the land were called Jebusites.(D) 5 The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You shall not enter here.” David nevertheless captured the fortress of Zion, which is the City of David. 6 David said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be made chief and captain.” Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was the first to attack; and so he became chief.(E) 7 David took up residence in the fortress, which therefore was called the City of David. 8 He built up the city on all sides, from the Millo all the way around, while Joab restored the rest of the city.(F) 9 David became ever more powerful, for the Lord of hosts was with him.
David’s Warriors. 10 (G)These were David’s chief warriors who, together with all Israel, supported him in his reign in order to make him king, according to the Lord’s word concerning Israel.
11 Here is the list of David’s warriors:
Ishbaal, the son of Hachamoni, chief of the Three.[a] He brandished his spear over three hundred, whom he had slain in a single encounter.
12 Next to him was Eleazar, the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the Three warriors.(H) 13 He was with David at Pas-dammim, where the Philistines had massed for battle. There was a plot of land full of barley. The people were fleeing before the Philistines,(I) 14 but he took his stand in the middle of the plot, kept it safe, and cut down the Philistines. Thus the Lord brought about a great victory.
15 Three of the Thirty chiefs went down to the rock, to David, who was in the cave of Adullam while the Philistines were encamped in the valley of Rephaim.(J) 16 David was then in the stronghold, and a Philistine garrison was at Bethlehem. 17 David had a strong craving, and said, “If only someone would give me a drink of water from the cistern by the gate of Bethlehem!” 18 Thereupon the Three broke through the encampment of the Philistines, drew water from the cistern by the gate of Bethlehem, and carried it back to David. But David refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out[b] to the Lord, 19 saying, “God forbid that I should do such a thing! Could I drink the blood of these men who risked their lives? For at the risk of their lives they brought it.” So he refused to drink it. Such deeds as these the Three warriors performed.
20 (K)Abishai, the brother of Joab, was the chief of the Thirty;[c] he brandished his spear over three hundred, whom he had slain. He made a name beside the Three,(L) 21 but was twice as famous as any of the Thirty, becoming their leader. However, he did not attain to the Three.
22 Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, a valiant man of mighty deeds, from Kabzeel, killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. Also, he went down and killed the lion in the cistern on a snowy day. 23 He likewise slew the Egyptian, a huge man five cubits tall. The Egyptian carried a spear that was like a weaver’s beam, but Benaiah came against him with a staff; he wrested the spear from the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with that spear. 24 Such deeds as these Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, performed, and he made a name beside the Three warriors, 25 but was more famous than any of the Thirty. However, he did not attain to the Three. David put him in charge of his bodyguard.(M)
26 Also these warriors: Asahel, the brother of Joab; Elhanan, son of Dodo, from Bethlehem;(N) 27 Shammoth, from En-harod; Helez, from Beth-pelet; 28 Ira, son of Ikkesh, from Tekoa; Abiezer, from Anathoth; 29 Sibbecai, from Husha; Ilai, from Ahoh;(O) 30 Maharai, from Netophah; Heled, son of Baanah, from Netophah;(P) 31 Ithai, son of Ribai, from Gibeah of Benjamin; Benaiah, from Pirathon;(Q) 32 Hurai, from Nahale-gaash; Abiel, from Beth-arabah; 33 Azmaveth, from Bahurim; Eliahba, from Shaalbon; 34 Jashen the Gunite; Jonathan, son of Shagee the Hararite; 35 Ahiam, son of Sachar the Hararite; Elipheleth, son of 36 Ahasbai, from Beth-maacah; Ahijah, from Gilo; 37 Hezro, from Carmel; Naarai, the son of Ezbai; 38 Joel, brother of Nathan, from Rehob, the Gadite; 39 Zelek the Ammonite; Naharai, from Beeroth, the armor-bearer of Joab, son of Zeruiah; 40 Ira, from Jattir; Gareb, from Jattir; 41 Uriah the Hittite; Zabad, son of Ahlai, 42 and, in addition to the Thirty, Adina, son of Shiza, the Reubenite, chief of the tribe of Reuben; 43 Hanan, son of Maacah; Joshaphat the Mithnite; 44 Uzzia, the Ashterathite; Shama and Jeiel, sons of Hotham, from Aroer; 45 Jediael, son of Shimri, and Joha, his brother, the Tizite; 46 Eliel the Mahavite; Jeribai and Joshaviah, sons of Elnaam; Ithmah, from Moab; 47 Eliel, Obed, and Jaasiel the Mezobian.
