历代志上 11
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
大卫受膏作犹大王(A)
11 那时，以色列众人聚集到希伯仑去见大卫，说：“看哪，我们原是你的骨肉。 2 从前扫罗作王的时候，是你率领以色列人出入征战；耶和华你的 神曾对你说过：‘你要牧养我的人民以色列，你要作我的人民以色列的领袖。’” 3 于是以色列的众长老都来到希伯仑见大卫王，大卫就在希伯仑，在耶和华面前与他们立约，他们就按照耶和华借着撒母耳所说的话，膏立大卫作王治理以色列。
大卫攻取耶路撒冷(B)
4 大卫和以色列众人来到耶路撒冷，耶路撒冷就是耶布斯。那时，当地的居民耶布斯人住在那里。 5 耶布斯的居民对大卫说：“你不能进这里来。”可是大卫占领了锡安的堡垒，锡安就是大卫城。 6 大卫说：“谁首先攻打耶布斯人，谁就必作首领和元帅。”洗鲁雅的儿子约押首先上去，就作了首领。 7 大卫住在堡垒中，因此人把那堡垒称为大卫城。 8 大卫又重建四周的城墙，从米罗起，以至城的周围；那城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(C)
10 以下这些人是大卫众勇士的首领，就是全力帮助他得国的，又与以色列人照着耶和华对以色列人所说的话一同立他作王。 11 这是大卫众勇士的数目：哈革摩尼的儿子雅朔班，是军官（“军官”或译：“三十（勇士）”；《七十士译本》的一些抄本作“三（勇士）”）的首领；他挥舞矛枪，只一次就杀死了三百人。 12 其次是亚合人朵多的儿子以利亚撒，他是三勇士之一； 13 他从前与大卫在巴斯．达闵，非利士人聚集在那里预备作战。那里有块长满大麦的田；众人从非利士人面前逃跑了。 14 他们却站在那块田中间，保护了那块田，击杀了非利士人；这样耶和华拯救了以色列人，使他们获得极大的胜利。
15 三十个首领中有三个，下到亚杜兰洞附近的盘石那里去见大卫；非利士人的军队在利乏音谷安营。 16 那时大卫在山寨中，非利士人的驻军在伯利恒。 17 大卫渴望说：“谁能把伯利恒城门旁边池中的水，拿来给我喝！” 18 这三个勇士就冲过非利士人的军营，从伯利恒城门旁边的池里取水，带到大卫那里去，大卫却不肯喝，把水倾在耶和华面前， 19 说：“在我的 神面前，我绝对不可以这样作，我怎能喝这些冒生命危险的人的血呢？因为这是他们冒生命危险取回来的。”因此大卫不肯喝这水。这是三个勇士所行的事。
20 约押的兄弟亚比筛，是三个勇士的首领；他挥舞矛枪刺死了三百人，因此在三个勇士中赢得了名声。 21 他在这三个勇士中，是最尊贵的，所以作他们的首领；只是还不及前三个勇士。
22 耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅，是甲薛族的勇士，曾有伟大的作为；他击杀了摩押人亚利伊勒的两个儿子，又在下雪的日子，下到坑中去击杀了一只狮子。 23 他又杀死了一个身高两百多公分的埃及人。这埃及人手里拿着矛枪，好象织布机轴，比拿雅只拿着棍子下去会他，竟从那埃及人手中把矛枪夺了过来，再用他的矛枪把他杀死。 24 这是耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅所行的事，因此在三个勇士中赢得名声。 25 他比那三十个勇士更有声望，只是还不及前三个勇士。大卫立他作侍卫长。
26 军中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 哈如珥（“哈如珥”是“哈律”的另一种写法；参撒下23:25）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 户沙人亚比该、亚合人以来、 30 尼陀法人玛哈莱、尼陀法人巴拿的儿子希立、 31 便雅悯子孙基比亚人利拜的儿子以太、比拉顿人比拿雅、 32 来自迦实溪的户莱、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、比录人拿哈莱；拿哈莱是替洗鲁雅的儿子约押拿兵器的。 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 流本支派示撒的儿子亚第拿，他是流本支派的一个首领，有三十人跟随他。 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、俄备得和米琐八人雅西业。
1 Chronicles 11
Contemporary English Version
David Becomes King of Israel
(2 Samuel 5.1-3)
11 Israel's leaders met with David at Hebron and said, “We are your relatives, 2 and we know that you have led our army into battle, even when Saul was still our king. The Lord God has promised that you would rule our country and take care of us like a shepherd. 3 So we have come to crown you king of Israel.”
David made an agreement with the leaders and asked the Lord to be their witness. Then the leaders poured olive oil on David's head to show that he was now king of Israel. This happened just as the Lord's prophet Samuel had said.
David Captures Jerusalem
(2 Samuel 5.6-10)
4 (A) Jerusalem was called Jebus at the time, and David led Israel's army to attack the town. 5 The Jebusites said, “You won't be able to get in here!” But David captured the fortress of Mount Zion, which is now called the City of David.
6 David had told his troops, “The first soldier to kill a Jebusite will become my army commander.” And since Joab son of Zeruiah attacked first, he became commander.
7 Later, David moved to the fortress—that's why it's called the City of David. 8 He had the city rebuilt, starting at the landfill on the east side.[a] Meanwhile, Joab supervised the repairs to the rest of the city.
9 David became a great and strong ruler, because the Lord All-Powerful was on his side.
The Three Warriors
(2 Samuel 23.8-17)
10 The Lord had promised that David would become king, and so everyone in Israel gave David their support. Certain warriors also helped keep his kingdom strong.
11 The first of these warriors was Jashobeam the son of Hachmoni, the leader of the Three Warriors.[b] In one battle he killed 300 men with his spear.
12 Another one of the Three Warriors was Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite. 13 During a battle against the Philistines at Pas-Dammim, all the Israelite soldiers ran away, 14 except Eleazar, who stayed with David. They took their positions in a nearby barley field and defeated the Philistines! The Lord gave Israel a great victory that day.
15 One time the Three Warriors[c] went to meet David among the rocks at Adullam Cave. The Philistine army had set up camp in Rephaim Valley 16 and had taken over Bethlehem. David was in a fortress, 17 and he said, “I'm very thirsty. I wish I had a drink of water from the well by the gate to Bethlehem.”
18 The Three Warriors sneaked through the Philistine camp and got some water from the well near Bethlehem's gate. They took it back to David, but he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured out the water as a sacrifice to the Lord 19 and said, “Drinking this water would be like drinking the blood of these men who risked their lives to get it for me.”
The Three Warriors did these brave deeds.
The Thirty Warriors
(2 Samuel 23.18-39)
20 Joab's brother Abishai was the leader of the Thirty Warriors,[d] and in one battle he killed 300 men with his spear. He was just as famous as the Three Warriors 21 and was more famous than the rest of the Thirty Warriors. He was their commander, but he never became one of the Three Warriors.[e]
22 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was a brave man from Kabzeel who did some amazing things. One time he killed two of Moab's best fighters, and one snowy day he went into a pit and killed a lion. 23 Another time he killed an Egyptian who was over two meters tall and was armed with a spear. Benaiah only had a club, so he grabbed the spear from the Egyptian and killed him with it. 24 Benaiah did things like that; he was just as brave as the Three Warriors, 25 even though he never became one of them. And he was certainly as famous as the rest of the Thirty Warriors. So David made him the leader of his own bodyguard.
26-47 Here is a list of the other famous warriors:
Asahel the brother of Joab; Elhanan the son of Dodo from Bethlehem; Shammoth from Haror; Helez from Pelon; Ira the son of Ikkesh from Tekoa; Abiezer from Anathoth; Sibbecai the Hushathite; Ilai[f] the Ahohite; Maharai from Netophah; Heled the son of Baanah from Netophah; Ithai the son of Ribai from Gibeah in Benjamin; Benaiah from Pirathon; Hurai[g] from near the streams on Mount Gaash; Abiel from Arbah; Azmaveth from Baharum; Eliahba from Shaalbon; Hashem[h] the Gizonite; Jonathan the son of Shagee from Harar; Ahiam the son of Sachar the Hararite; Eliphal the son of Ur; Hepher from Mecherah; Ahijah from Pelon; Hezro from Carmel; Naarai the son of Ezbai; Joel the brother of Nathan; Mibhar the son of Hagri; Zelek from Ammon; Naharai from Beeroth who carried Joab's weapons; Ira the Ithrite; Gareb the Ithrite; Uriah the Hittite; Zabad the son of Ahlai; Adina the son of Shiza, a leader in the Reuben tribe, and 30 of his soldiers; Hanan the son of Maacah; Joshaphat from Mithan; Uzzia from Ashterah; Shama and Jeiel the sons of Hotham from Aroer; Jediael and Joha the sons of Shimri from Tiz; Eliel from Mahavah; Jeribai and Joshaviah the sons of Elnaam; Ithmah from Moab; Eliel, Obed, and Jaasiel from Mezobah.
Footnotes
- 11.8 the landfill on the east side: The Hebrew text has “the Millo,” which probably refers to a landfill to strengthen and extend the hill where the city was built.
- 11.11 the Three Warriors: One ancient translation and 2 Samuel 23.8; Hebrew “the Thirty Warriors.” The “Three Warriors” was the most honored group of warriors and may have been part of the “Thirty Warriors.” “Three” and “thirty” are spelled almost the same in Hebrew, so there is some confusion in the manuscripts as to which group is being talked about in some places in the following lists.
- 11.15 the Three Warriors: Hebrew “three of the thirty most important warriors.”
- 11.20 the Thirty Warriors: One ancient translation; Hebrew “the Three Warriors.” The “Thirty Warriors” was the second most honored group of warriors and may have also been officers in the army.
- 11.20,21 Warriors: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text of these verses.
- 11.26-47 Ilai: Or “Zalmon” (see 2 Samuel 23.24-39).
- 11.26-47 Hurai: Or “Hiddai” (see 2 Samuel 23.24-39).
- 11.26-47 Hashem: One ancient translation; Hebrew “the sons of Hashem.”
