撒母耳记下 23
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
大卫的遗言
23 耶西的儿子大卫是雅各的上帝膏立的王，他身居高位，在以色列能歌善咏。以下是他的遗言：
2 “耶和华的灵借着我说话，
祂的言语在我口中。
3 以色列的上帝告诉我，
以色列的磐石对我说，
‘以公义治理人民，
敬畏上帝的君王，
4 就像黎明的曙光、
晴朗的早晨，
又像雨后的光辉，
使大地长出青草。’
5 我的家在上帝面前不正是如此吗？
上帝与我立下永远的约，
这约稳妥可靠。
祂必拯救我，成全我的愿望。
6 但恶人要像荆棘一样被丢弃，
没人用手碰他们，
7 人要拿铁器和长矛把他们收集起来焚毁。”
大卫的勇士
8 以下是大卫的勇士：他革扪人约设·巴设，又称伊斯尼人亚底挪，是三勇士之首，曾在一场交战中杀掉八百敌人。
9 其次是亚合人朵多的儿子以利亚撒，他是三勇士之一。有一次，以色列人和非利士人打仗，他跟随大卫向非利士人骂阵。以色列军队都撤退了， 10 他却坚守阵地，奋勇杀敌，直到手臂发麻，握刀的手无法松开。那天，耶和华使以色列人大获全胜。以色列军队回到以利亚撒那里来捡死人的财物。 11 第三位勇士是哈拉人亚基的儿子沙玛。有一次非利士人聚集在一块长满扁豆的田中和以色列人打仗，以色列人都逃跑了， 12 沙玛却站在田中间击杀敌人，保卫了那块田。那次，耶和华使以色列人大获全胜。
13 在收割的时候，非利士军兵在利乏音谷扎营，三十勇士中的三位到亚杜兰洞见大卫。 14 那时大卫留守在堡垒里，非利士人的驻军在伯利恒。 15 大卫渴了，说：“真想喝一些伯利恒城门旁的井水！” 16 这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， 17 说：“耶和华啊！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。
18 洗鲁雅的儿子、约押的兄弟亚比筛是这三位[a]勇士的统领，他曾挥矛刺死三百人，在三勇士中出了名， 19 最有声望，因此做了他们的统领，只是不及前三位勇士。
20 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， 21 还杀死了一个埃及勇士。当时埃及人拿着长矛，比拿雅拿着棍子迎战，他夺了对方的长矛，用那矛刺死了对方。 22 这是耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅的事迹，他在三个勇士中出了名。 23 他比三十勇士更有声望，只是不及前三位勇士。大卫封他为护卫长。
24 三十勇士中有：约押的兄弟亚撒黑、伯利恒人朵多的儿子伊勒哈难、 25 哈律人沙玛、哈律人以利加、 26 帕勒提人希利斯、提哥亚人益吉的儿子以拉、 27 亚拿突人亚比以谢、户沙人米本乃、 28 亚合人撒们、尼陀法人玛哈莱、 29 尼陀法人巴拿的儿子希立、便雅悯支派基比亚人利拜的儿子以太、 30 比拉顿人比拿雅、迦实溪人希太、 31 伯·亚拉巴人亚比亚本、巴鲁米人押斯玛弗、 32 沙本人以利雅哈巴、雅善的儿子们、哈拉人沙玛的儿子约拿单、 33 哈拉人沙拉的儿子亚希暗、 34 玛迦人亚哈拜的儿子以利法列、基罗人亚希多弗的儿子以连、 35 迦密人希斯莱、亚巴人帕莱、 36 琐巴人拿单的儿子以甲、迦得人巴尼、 37 亚扪人洗勒、为洗鲁雅的儿子约押拿兵器的比录人拿哈莱、 38 以帖人以拉、以帖人迦立、 39 赫人乌利亚，共三十七名勇士。

2 Samuel 23
New Century Version
David’s Last Words
23 These are the last words of David.
This is the message of David son of Jesse.
The man made great by the Most High God speaks.
He is the appointed king of the God of Jacob;
he is the sweet singer of Israel:
2 “The Lord’s Spirit spoke through me,
and his word was on my tongue.
3 The God of Israel spoke;
the Rock of Israel said to me:
‘Whoever rules fairly over people,
who rules with respect for God,
4 is like the morning light at dawn,
like a morning without clouds.
He is like sunshine after a rain
that makes the grass sprout from the ground.’
5 “This is how God has cared for my family.
God made a lasting agreement with me,
right and sure in every way.
He will accomplish my salvation
and satisfy all my desires.
6 “But all evil people will be thrown away like thorns
that cannot be held in a hand.
7 No one can touch them
except with a tool of iron or wood.
They will be thrown in the fire and burned where they lie.”
David’s Army
8 These are the names of David’s warriors:
Josheb-Basshebeth, the Tahkemonite, was head of the Three.[a] He killed eight hundred men at one time.
9 Next was Eleazar son of Dodai the Ahohite. Eleazar was one of the three soldiers who were with David when they challenged the Philistines. The Philistines were gathered for battle, and the Israelites drew back. 10 But Eleazar stayed where he was and fought the Philistines until he was so tired his hand stuck to his sword. The Lord gave a great victory for the Israelites that day. The troops came back after Eleazar had won the battle, but only to take weapons and armor from the enemy.
11 Next there was Shammah son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines came together to fight in a vegetable field. Israel’s troops ran away from the Philistines, 12 but Shammah stood in the middle of the field and fought for it and killed the Philistines. And the Lord gave a great victory.
13 Once, three of the Thirty, David’s chief soldiers, came down to him at the cave of Adullam during harvest. The Philistine army had camped in the Valley of Rephaim. 14 At that time David was in the stronghold, and some of the Philistines were in Bethlehem.
15 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!” 16 So the three warriors broke through the Philistine army and took water from the well near the city gate of Bethlehem. Then they brought it to David, but he refused to drink it. He poured it out before the Lord, 17 saying, “May the Lord keep me from drinking this water! It would be like drinking the blood of the men who risked their lives!” So David refused to drink it. These were the brave things that the three warriors did.
18 Abishai, brother of Joab son of Zeruiah, was captain of the Three. Abishai fought three hundred soldiers with his spear and killed them. He became as famous as the Three 19 and was more honored than the Three. He became their commander even though he was not one of them.
20 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. 21 Benaiah killed a large Egyptian who had a spear in his hand. Benaiah had a club, but he grabbed the spear from the Egyptian’s hand and killed him with his own spear. 22 These were the things Benaiah son of Jehoiada did. He was as famous as the Three. 23 He received more honor than the Thirty, but he did not become a member of the Three. David made him leader of his bodyguards.
The Thirty Chief Soldiers
24 The following men were among the Thirty:
Asahel brother of Joab;
Elhanan son of Dodo from Bethlehem;
25 Shammah the Harodite;
