다윗의 마지막 말

23 이것은 다윗의 마지막 말이다.

“이새의 아들 다윗이 말하노 라.
하나님이 위대하게 하신 자,
야곱의 하나님이 왕으로 선택한 자,
이스라엘의 시인 다윗이
노래하노라.
“여호와의 성령께서
나를 통해 말씀 하시니
그의 말씀이 내 혀에 있구나.
이스라엘의 반석 되시는 하나 님이
나에게 말씀하셨다.
‘의롭게 다스리는 자,
하나님을 두려워함으로
다스리는 자는
쏟아지는 아침 햇살 같고
청명한 아침 같으며
비 온 뒤의 햇볕으로
파릇파릇 돋아나는 새싹과 같다.’
“그래서 하나님이
우리 집안을 축복해 주시리 라.
그가 깨어지지 않고 변하지 않을
영원한 계약을 나와 맺었으니
어찌 그가 나의 모든 구원과 소원을
이루지 아니하 시랴!
그러나 악한 자들은
내어 던져 버릴 가시나무와 같으니
아무도 맨손으로 잡을 수 없음이라.
그것을 잘라 불에 태워 버리려 면
철제 도구를 사용해야 하 리라.”

다윗의 명장들

다윗의 3대 명장은 다음과 같다: 첫째 는 두목인 다그몬 사람 요셉-밧세벳 이다. 그는에센사람아디노라는별 명을 가진 사람으로서 한때 800명을 단번에 쳐죽인 일도 있었다.

다음은아호아사람 [a]도도의아들인 엘르아살이었다. 어느 날 그는 블레셋 군과 싸우기 위해 다윗과 함께 출전했 는데 그때 이스라엘군이 다 후퇴하고 말았다.

10 그러나 그는 물러서지 않고 지쳐서 칼 이손에제대로잡히지않을때까지 블레셋군을 쳤다. 그 날 여호와께서 그에게 큰 승리를 주시자 그제서야 이 스라엘군은 그 곳으로 돌아와서 죽은 블레셋군의 장비를 약탈하였다.

11-12 그다음은하랄사람아게의아들 삼마였다. 그는 한때 블레셋 사람과의 전투에서 부하들이 자기를 버리고 도 망갔을때홀로녹두밭중앙에서서 블레셋군을 막아 싸웠으며 그 날 여호 와께서는 그에게 큰 승리를 주셨다.

13 다윗이아둘람굴에숨어있을당시블 레셋군이 침입하여 르바임 골짜기에 진을 치고 있었다. 그때 이스라엘군의 용 30명가운데세사람이다윗을 찾아갔는데 곡식을 벨 무렵이었다.

14 그때 다윗은 요새에 있었고 블레셋 사람의 주둔군은 베들레헴에 있었다.

15 이때 다윗이 고향을 그리워하면서 “베 들레헴 성문 곁에 있는 우물물이 먹고 싶어못견디겠구나! 누가그물을좀 길어 올 사람이 없는가?” 하자

16 그 세 사람이 블레셋군의 진영을 뚫고 들어가 그 우물물을 길어서 다윗에게 가져왔다. 그러나다윗은그물을마 시지 않고 그것을 여호와께 제물로 부 어 드리고

17 이렇게부르짖었다. “여호와여, 나는 결코이물을마실수없습니다. 이것 은 죽음을 무릅쓰고 갔다온 사람들의 피와 다를 것이 없습니다.”

18-19 이 세 용사 중에 스루야의 아들이 며 요압의 동생인 아비새가 그들의 인 솔자였다. 그는 한때 창으로 적군 300 명을 쳐죽이고 유명해져서 30명 용장 가운데 대장이 되어 3대 명장 못지않 은 명성을 얻었다. 그러나 그는 그 3대 명장 가운데는 들지 못하였다.

20 또갑스엘사람여호야다의아들브나 야도큰공을세운용감한군인이었 다. 그는사자같은모압의두장수를 죽였고또한번은눈오는날미끄러 운데도 함정에 내려가서 그 곳에 빠져 있는 사자를 잡아죽였다.

21 그는또막대기하나만가지고도창을 가진 이집트의 거인에게 달려가서 그 의손에든창을빼앗아그것으로그 를 죽인 일도 있었다.

22 이런 용감한 일로 브나야도 앞서 말한 세용사중하나로명성을얻어

23 30명 용장 가운데서도 아주 유명한 사 람이되었다. 그래서다윗은그를자 기 경호대장으로 삼았다. 그러나 그는 3대 명장 가운데는 들지 못하였다.

24 이스라엘 용장들은 다음과 같다: 요압 의동생아사헬, 베들레헴출신도도 의 아들 엘하난,

25 하롯사람삼마와엘리가,

26 발디 사람 헬레스, 드고아 사람 익게스 의 아들 이라,

27 아나놋 사람 아비에셀, 후사 사람 [b]므 분내,

28 아호아사람살몬, 느도바사람마하 래,

29 느도바사람바아나의아들 [c]헬렙, 베 냐민 지파의 기브아 사람 리배의 아들 잇대,

30 비라돈 사람 브나야, 가아스 시냇가에 살던 [d]힛대,

31 아르바 사람 아비-알븐, 바후림 사람 아스마,

32 사알본 사람 엘리아바, 야센의 아들들, 요나단,

33 하랄사람삼마, 하랄사람사랄의아 들 아히암,

34 마아가 사람 아하스배의 아들 엘리벨 렛, 길로사람아히도벨의아들엘리 암,

35 갈멜사람헤스로, 아랍사람바아래,

36 소바사람나단의아들이갈, 갓사람 바니,

37 암몬 사람 셀렉, 스루야의 아들인 요압 의경호병브에롯사람나하래,

38 이델 사람 이라와 가렙,

39 그리고 헷 사람 우리아였다. 이상과 같 이 이스라엘의 용장들은 모두 37명이 었다.

David’s Last Words

23 These are the last words of David:

“The inspired utterance of David son of Jesse,
    the utterance of the man exalted(A) by the Most High,
the man anointed(B) by the God of Jacob,
    the hero of Israel’s songs:

“The Spirit(C) of the Lord spoke through me;
    his word was on my tongue.
The God of Israel spoke,
    the Rock(D) of Israel said to me:
‘When one rules over people in righteousness,(E)
    when he rules in the fear(F) of God,(G)
he is like the light(H) of morning(I) at sunrise(J)
    on a cloudless morning,
like the brightness after rain(K)
    that brings grass from the earth.’

“If my house were not right with God,
    surely he would not have made with me an everlasting covenant,(L)
    arranged and secured in every part;
surely he would not bring to fruition my salvation
    and grant me my every desire.
But evil men are all to be cast aside like thorns,(M)
    which are not gathered with the hand.
Whoever touches thorns
    uses a tool of iron or the shaft of a spear;
    they are burned up where they lie.”

David’s Mighty Warriors(N)

These are the names of David’s mighty warriors:(O)

Josheb-Basshebeth,[a](P) a Tahkemonite,[b] was chief of the Three; he raised his spear against eight hundred men, whom he killed[c] in one encounter.

Next to him was Eleazar son of Dodai(Q) the Ahohite.(R) As one of the three mighty warriors, he was with David when they taunted the Philistines gathered at Pas Dammim[d] for battle. Then the Israelites retreated, 10 but Eleazar stood his ground and struck down the Philistines till his hand grew tired and froze to the sword. The Lord brought about a great victory that day. The troops returned to Eleazar, but only to strip the dead.

11 Next to him was Shammah son of Agee the Hararite. When the Philistines banded together at a place where there was a field full of lentils, Israel’s troops fled from them. 12 But Shammah took his stand in the middle of the field. He defended it and struck the Philistines down, and the Lord brought about a great victory.

13 During harvest time, three of the thirty chief warriors came down to David at the cave of Adullam,(S) while a band of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.(T) 14 At that time David was in the stronghold,(U) and the Philistine garrison was at Bethlehem.(V) 15 David longed for water and said, “Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!” 16 So the three mighty warriors 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(W) it out before the Lord. 17 “Far be it from me, Lord, to do this!” he said. “Is it not the blood(X) of men who went at the risk of their lives?” And David would not drink it.

Such were the exploits of the three mighty warriors.

18 Abishai(Y) the brother of Joab son of Zeruiah was chief of the Three.[e] He raised his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed, and so he became as famous as the Three. 19 Was he not held in greater honor than the Three? He became their commander, even though he was not included among them.

20 Benaiah(Z) son of Jehoiada, a valiant fighter from Kabzeel,(AA) 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. 21 And he struck down a huge Egyptian. Although the Egyptian had a spear 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. 22 Such were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada; he too was as famous as the three mighty warriors. 23 He was held in greater honor than any of the Thirty, but he was not included among the Three. And David put him in charge of his bodyguard.

24 Among the Thirty were:

Asahel(AB) the brother of Joab,

Elhanan son of Dodo from Bethlehem,

25 Shammah the Harodite,(AC)

Elika the Harodite,

26 Helez(AD) the Paltite,

Ira(AE) son of Ikkesh from Tekoa,

27 Abiezer(AF) from Anathoth,(AG)

Sibbekai[f] the Hushathite,

28 Zalmon the Ahohite,

Maharai(AH) the Netophathite,(AI)

29 Heled[g](AJ) son of Baanah the Netophathite,

Ithai son of Ribai from Gibeah(AK) in Benjamin,

30 Benaiah the Pirathonite,(AL)

Hiddai[h] from the ravines of Gaash,(AM)

31 Abi-Albon the Arbathite,

Azmaveth the Barhumite,(AN)

32 Eliahba the Shaalbonite,

the sons of Jashen,

Jonathan 33 son of[i] Shammah the Hararite,

Ahiam son of Sharar[j] the Hararite,

34 Eliphelet son of Ahasbai the Maakathite,(AO)

Eliam(AP) son of Ahithophel(AQ) the Gilonite,

35 Hezro the Carmelite,(AR)

Paarai the Arbite,

36 Igal son of Nathan from Zobah,(AS)

the son of Hagri,[k]

37 Zelek the Ammonite,

Naharai the Beerothite,(AT) the armor-bearer of Joab son of Zeruiah,

38 Ira the Ithrite,(AU)

Gareb the Ithrite

39 and Uriah(AV) the Hittite.

There were thirty-seven in all.

23 Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,

The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his word was in my tongue.

The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.

And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.

Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow.

But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:

But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place.

These be the names of the mighty men whom David had: The Tachmonite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite: he lift up his spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time.

And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away:

10 He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword: and the Lord wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil.

11 And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentiles: and the people fled from the Philistines.

12 But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the Lord wrought a great victory.

13 And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines pitched in the valley of Rephaim.

14 And David was then in an hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.

15 And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!

16 And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the Lord.

17 And he said, Be it far from me, O Lord, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.

18 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief among three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred, and slew them, and had the name among three.

19 Was he not most honourable of three? therefore he was their captain: howbeit he attained not unto the first three.

20 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two lionlike men of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow:

21 And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.

22 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among three mighty men.

23 He was more honourable than the thirty, but he attained not to the first three. And David set him over his guard.

24 Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

25 Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite,

26 Helez the Paltite, Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite,

27 Abiezer the Anethothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite,

28 Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite,

29 Heleb the son of Baanah, a Netophathite, Ittai the son of Ribai out of Gibeah of the children of Benjamin,

30 Benaiah the Pirathonite, Hiddai of the brooks of Gaash,

31 Abialbon the Arbathite, Azmaveth the Barhumite,

32 Eliahba the Shaalbonite, of the sons of Jashen, Jonathan,

33 Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam the son of Sharar the Hararite,

34 Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai, the son of the Maachathite, Eliam the son of Ahithophel the Gilonite,

35 Hezrai the Carmelite, Paarai the Arbite,

37 Zelek the Ammonite, Nahari the Beerothite, armourbearer to Joab the son of Zeruiah,

38 Ira an Ithrite, Gareb an Ithrite,

39 Uriah the Hittite: thirty and seven in all.

The Last Words of David

23 Now these are the last words of David:

The oracle of David, the son of Jesse,
    the oracle of (A)the man who was raised on high,
(B)the anointed of the God of Jacob,
    the sweet psalmist of Israel:[a]

(C)“The Spirit of the Lord speaks by me;
    his word is on my tongue.
The God of Israel has spoken;
    (D)the Rock of Israel has said to me:
When one rules justly over men,
    ruling (E)in the fear of God,
he (F)dawns on them like the morning light,
    like the sun shining forth on a cloudless morning,
    like rain[b] that makes grass to sprout from the earth.

“For does not my house stand so with God?
    (G)For he has made with me an everlasting covenant,
    ordered in all things and secure.
For will he not cause to prosper
    all my help and my desire?
But worthless men[c] are all like thorns that are thrown away,
    for they cannot be taken with the hand;
but the man who touches them
    arms himself with iron and the shaft of a spear,
    and they are utterly consumed with fire.”[d]

David's Mighty Men

(H)These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: (I)Josheb-basshebeth a Tahchemonite; he was chief of the three.[e] He wielded his spear[f] against eight hundred whom he killed at one time.

And next to him among the three mighty men was Eleazar the son of (J)Dodo, son of (K)Ahohi. He was with David when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there for battle, and the men of Israel withdrew. 10 He rose and struck down the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clung to the sword. And the Lord brought about a great victory that day, and the men returned after him only to strip the slain.

11 And next to him was Shammah, the son of Agee the (L)Hararite. The Philistines gathered together at Lehi,[g] where there was a plot of ground full of lentils, and the men fled from the Philistines. 12 But he took his stand in the midst of the plot and defended it and struck down the Philistines, and the Lord worked a great victory.

13 And three of the thirty chief men went down and came about harvest time to David at the (M)cave of Adullam, when a band of Philistines was encamped (N)in the Valley of Rephaim. 14 David was then (O)in the stronghold, and (P)the garrison of the Philistines was then at Bethlehem. 15 And David said longingly, “Oh, that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem that is by the gate!” 16 Then the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate and carried and brought it to David. But he would not drink of it. He poured it out to the Lord 17 and said, “Far be it from me, O Lord, that I should do this. Shall I drink (Q)the blood of the men who went at the risk of their lives?” Therefore he would not drink it. These things the three mighty men did.

18 Now Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the thirty.[h] And he wielded his spear against three hundred men[i] and killed them and won a name beside the three. 19 He was the most renowned of the thirty[j] and became their commander, but he did not attain to (R)the three.

20 And (S)Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was a valiant man[k] of (T)Kabzeel, a doer of great deeds. He struck down two ariels[l] of Moab. He also went down and struck down a lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen. 21 And he struck down an Egyptian, a handsome man. The Egyptian had a spear in his hand, but Benaiah went down to him with a staff and snatched the spear out of the Egyptian's hand and killed him with his own spear. 22 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and won a name beside the three mighty men. 23 He was renowned among the thirty, but he did not attain to the three. And David set him over his bodyguard.

24 (U)Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem, 25 (V)Shammah of Harod, Elika of Harod, 26 Helez the Paltite, Ira the son of Ikkesh (W)of Tekoa, 27 Abiezer (X)of Anathoth, Mebunnai (Y)the Hushathite, 28 Zalmon (Z)the Ahohite, Maharai (AA)of Netophah, 29 Heleb the son of Baanah (AB)of Netophah, Ittai the son of Ribai of (AC)Gibeah of the people of Benjamin, 30 Benaiah (AD)of Pirathon, Hiddai of the brooks of (AE)Gaash, 31 Abi-albon the Arbathite, Azmaveth of (AF)Bahurim, 32 Eliahba the Shaalbonite, the sons of Jashen, Jonathan, 33 (AG)Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam the son of Sharar the Hararite, 34 Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai (AH)of Maacah, (AI)Eliam the son of (AJ)Ahithophel the Gilonite, 35 Hezro[m] (AK)of Carmel, Paarai the Arbite, 36 Igal the son of Nathan (AL)of Zobah, Bani the Gadite, 37 Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai (AM)of Beeroth, the armor-bearer of Joab the son of Zeruiah, 38 (AN)Ira the (AO)Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite, 39 (AP)Uriah the Hittite: thirty-seven in all.

23 ESTAS son las postreras palabras de David. Dijo David hijo de Isaí, Dijo aquel varón que fué levantado alto, El ungido del Dios de Jacob, El suave en cánticos de Israel:

El espíritu de Jehová ha hablado por mí, Y su palabra ha sido en mi lengua.

El Dios de Israel ha dicho, Hablóme el Fuerte de Israel: El señoreador de los hombres será justo. Señoreador en temor de Dios.

Será como la luz de la mañana cuando sale el sol, De la mañana sin nubes; Cuando la hierba de la tierra brota Por medio del resplandor después de la lluvia.

No así mi casa para con Dios: Sin embargo él ha hecho conmigo pacto perpetuo, Ordenado en todas las cosas, y será guardado; Bien que toda esta mi salud, y todo mi deseo No lo haga él florecer todavía.

Mas los de Belial serán todos ellos como espinas arrancadas, Las cuales nadie toma con la mano;

Sino que el que quiere tocar en ellas, Armase de hierro y de asta de lanza, Y son quemadas en su lugar.

Estos son los nombres de los valientes que tuvo David: El Tachmonita, que se sentaba en cátedra, principal de los capitanes: era éste Adino el Eznita, que mató en una ocasión sobre ochocientos hombres.

Después de éste, Eleazar, hijo de Dodo de Ahohi, fué de los tres valientes que estaban con David, cuando desafiaron á los Filisteos que se habían juntado allí á la batalla, y subieron los de Israel.

10 Este, levantándose, hirió á los Filisteos, hasta que su mano se cansó, y quedósele contraída á la espada. Aquel día Jehová hizo gran salud: y volvióse el pueblo en pos de él solamente á tomar el despojo.

11 Después de éste fué Samma, hijo de Age Araita: que habiéndose juntado los Filisteos en una aldea, había allí una suerte de tierra llena de lentejas, y el pueblo había huído delante de los Filisteos:

12 El entonces se paró en medio de la suerte de tierra, y defendióla, é hirió á los Filisteos; y Jehová hizo una gran salud.

13 Y tres de los treinta principales descendieron y vinieron en tiempo de la siega á David á la cueva de Adullam: y el campo de los Filisteos estaba en el valle de Raphaim.

14 David entonces estaba en la fortaleza, y la guarnición de los Filisteos estaba en Beth-lehem.

15 Y David tuvo deseo, y dijo: ­Quién me diera á beber del agua de la cisterna de Beth-lehem, que está á la puerta!

16 Entonces los tres valientes rompieron por el campo de los Filisteos, y sacaron agua de la cisterna de Beth-lehem, que estaba á la puerta; y tomaron, y trajéronla á David: mas él no la quiso beber, sino derramóla á Jehová, diciendo:

17 Lejos sea de mí, oh Jehová, que yo haga esto. ¿He de beber yo la sangre de los varones que fueron con peligro de su vida? Y no quiso beberla. Los tres valientes hicieron esto.

18 Y Abisai hermano de Joab, hijo de Sarvia, fué el principal de los tres; el cual alzó su lanza contra trescientos, que mató; y tuvo nombre entre los tres.

19 El era el más aventajado de los tres, y el primero de ellos; mas no llegó á los tres primeros.

20 Después, Benaía hijo de Joiada, hijo de un varón esforzado, grande en hechos, de Cabseel. Este hirió dos leones de Moab: y él mismo descendió, é hirió un león en medio de un foso en el tiempo de la nieve:

21 También hirió él á un Egipcio, hombre de grande estatura: y tenía el Egipcio una lanza en su mano; mas descendió á él con un palo, y arrebató al Egipcio la lanza de la mano, y matólo con su propia lanza.

22 Esto hizo Benaía hijo de Joiada, y tuvo nombre entre los tres valientes.

23 De los treinta fué el más aventajado; pero no llegó á los tres primeros. Y púsolo David en su consejo.

24 Asael hermano de Joab fué de los treinta; Elhaanan hijo de Dodo de Beth-lehem;
