1 Chronicles 11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
David Anointed King of All Israel
11 Then all Israel gathered together to David at Hebron and said, “Look, we are your bone and flesh.(A) 2 For some time now, even while Saul was king, it was you who commanded the army of Israel. The Lord your God said to you, ‘It is you who shall be shepherd of my people Israel, you who shall be ruler over my people Israel.’ ”(B) 3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord. And they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord by Samuel.(C)
Jerusalem Captured
4 David and all Israel marched to Jerusalem, that is, Jebus, where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.(D) 5 The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will not come in here.” Nevertheless, David took the stronghold of Zion, now the city of David. 6 David had said, “Whoever attacks the Jebusites first shall be chief and commander.” And Joab son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief.(E) 7 David resided in the stronghold; therefore it was called the city of David. 8 He built the city all around, from the Millo in complete circuit, and Joab repaired the rest of the city. 9 And David became greater and greater, for the Lord of hosts was with him.(F)
David’s Mighty Men and Their Exploits
10 Now these are the chiefs of David’s warriors, who gave him strong support in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the Lord concerning Israel.(G) 11 This is an account of David’s mighty warriors: Jashobeam, son of Hachmoni,[a] was chief of the Three;[b] he wielded his spear against three hundred whom he killed at one time.(H)
12 And next to him among the three warriors was Eleazar son of Dodo, the Ahohite. 13 He was with David at Pas-dammim when the Philistines were gathered there for battle. There was a plot of ground full of barley. Now the people had fled from the Philistines,(I) 14 but he and David took their stand in the middle of the plot, defended it, and killed the Philistines, and the Lord saved them by a great victory.
15 Three of the thirty chiefs went down to the rock to David at the cave of Adullam while the army of Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.(J) 16 David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then at Bethlehem. 17 David said longingly, “Oh, that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem that is by the gate!” 18 Then the Three broke through the camp of the Philistines and drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and they brought it to David. But David would not drink of it; he poured it out to the Lord 19 and said, “My God forbid that I should do this. Can I drink the blood of these men? For at the risk of their lives they brought it.” Therefore he would not drink it. The three warriors did these things.
20 Now Abishai,[c] the brother of Joab, was chief of the Thirty.[d] With his spear he fought against three hundred and killed them and won a name[e] beside the Three.(K) 21 He was the most renowned[f] of the Thirty[g] and became their commander, but he did not attain to the Three.(L)
22 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a valiant man[h] of Kabzeel, a doer of great deeds; he struck down two sons of[i] Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen.(M) 23 And he killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits tall. The Egyptian had in his hand a spear like a weaver’s beam, but Benaiah went against him with a staff, snatched the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear.(N) 24 Such were the things Benaiah son of Jehoiada did, and he won a name beside the three warriors. 25 He was renowned among the Thirty, but he did not attain to the Three. And David put him in charge of his bodyguard.
26 The warriors of the armies were Asahel brother of Joab, Elhanan son of Dodo of Bethlehem,(O) 27 Shammoth of Harod,[j] Helez the Pelonite, 28 Ira son of Ikkesh of Tekoa, Abiezer of Anathoth, 29 Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite, 30 Maharai of Netophah, Heled son of Baanah of Netophah, 31 Ithai son of Ribai of Gibeah of the Benjaminites, Benaiah of Pirathon, 32 Hurai of the wadis of Gaash, Abiel the Arbathite, 33 Azmaveth of Bahurim, Eliahba of Shaalbon, 34 Hashem[k] the Gizonite, Jonathan son of Shagee the Hararite, 35 Ahiam son of Sachar the Hararite, Eliphal son of Ur, 36 Hepher the Mecherathite, Ahijah the Pelonite, 37 Hezro of Carmel, Naarai son of Ezbai, 38 Joel the brother of Nathan, Mibhar son of Hagri, 39 Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai of Beeroth (the armor-bearer of Joab son of Zeruiah),(P) 40 Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite, 41 Uriah the Hittite, Zabad son of Ahlai, 42 Adina son of Shiza the Reubenite, a leader of the Reubenites, and thirty with him, 43 Hanan son of Maacah, and Joshaphat the Mithnite, 44 Uzzia the Ashterathite, Shama and Jeiel sons of Hotham the Aroerite, 45 Jediael son of Shimri and his brother Joha the Tizite, 46 Eliel the Mahavite, and Jeribai and Joshaviah sons of Elnaam, and Ithmah the Moabite, 47 Eliel, and Obed, and Jaasiel the Mezobaite.

BRG Bible
11 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.
2 And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the Lord thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel.
3 Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the Lord; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord by Samuel.
4 ¶ And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.
5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which is the city of David.
6 And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.
7 And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of David.
8 And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
9 So David waxed greater and greater: for the Lord of hosts was with him.
10 ¶ These also are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, and with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the Lord concerning Israel.
11 And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had; Jashobeam, an Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain by him at one time.
12 And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties.
13 He was with David at Pas-dammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.
14 And they set themselves in the midst of that parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and the Lord saved them by a great deliverance.
15 ¶ Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
16 And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines’ garrison was then at Beth-lehem.
17 And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Beth-lehem, that is at the gate!
18 And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to the Lord,
19 And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest.
20 ¶ And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew them, and had a name among the three.
21 Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was their captain: howbeit he attained not to the first three.
22 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: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day.
23 And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian’s hand was a spear like a weaver’s beam; and 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.
24 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among the three mighties.
25 Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but attained not to the first three: and David set him over his guard.

David blir kung över hela Israel
11 (A) Hela Israel samlades till David i Hebron och sade: ”Vi är ditt eget kött och blod.[a] 2 (B) Redan för länge sedan, när Saul fortfarande var kung, var det du som var ledare och anförare för Israel. Och Herren din Gud har sagt till dig: Du ska vara herde för mitt folk Israel, du ska vara en furste över mitt folk Israel.” 3 (C) När alla de äldste i Israel kom till kungen i Hebron, slöt David ett förbund med dem i Hebron inför Herren. Sedan smorde de David till kung över Israel, enligt Herrens ord genom Samuel.
4 (D) David begav sig med hela Israel till Jerusalem, det vill säga Jebus, där jebusiterna bodde. 5 Invånarna i Jebus sade till David: ”Här kommer du inte in!” Men David intog Sions borg,[b] som nu är Davids stad. 6 David sade: ”Den som först slår jebusiterna, han ska bli överbefälhavare och överste.” Joab, Serujas son, kom upp först, och han blev överbefälhavare. 7 David bosatte sig sedan i borgen, och därför kallade man den Davids stad. 8 Han byggde staden runt om den, från Millo och vidare runt omkring, och Joab återställde resten av staden. 9 David blev allt mäktigare, och Herren Sebaot var med honom.
Davids hjältar
10 (E) Dessa är de främsta bland Davids hjältar, som starkt stödde honom i hans rike tillsammans med hela Israel, så att man gjorde honom till kung över Israel enligt Herrens ord.
11 (F) Detta är förteckningen på Davids hjältar: Jashobeam[c], son till en hakmonit, den främste bland kämparna, som svängde sitt spjut över trehundra slagna på en gång. 12 (G) Efter honom kom ahoaiten Eleasar, son till Dodo. Han var en av de tre hjältarna[d]. 13 Han var med David vid Pas-Dammim när filisteerna hade samlats där till strid. Där fanns en åker, full med korn, och folket flydde för filisteerna. 14 Då ställde de sig mitt på åkern och försvarade den och slog filisteerna, och Herren lät dem vinna en stor seger.
15 (H) Tre av de trettio främsta männen gick ner över klippan till David vid Adullams grotta, medan en avdelning filisteer hade slagit läger i Refaimdalen. 16 David var då på borgen, och en filisteisk utpost fanns i Betlehem. 17 David sade längtansfullt: ”Tänk om någon kunde ge mig lite vatten från brunnen vid Betlehems stadsport!” 18 Då bröt de tre sig igenom filisteernas linjer, hämtade vatten ur brunnen vid Betlehems stadsport och tog med det och bar det till David. Men David ville inte dricka det, utan hällde ut det som ett dryckesoffer åt Herren. 19 Han sade: ”Aldrig inför min Gud att jag skulle göra detta! Skulle jag dricka dessa mäns blod? De har ju vågat sina liv, de har burit hit det med fara för sina liv.” Och han ville inte dricka det.
Sådana bragder hade de tre hjältarna utfört.
20 Abshaj, Joabs bror, var den främste av tre andra. Han svängde en gång sitt spjut över trehundra slagna. Han hade ett stort namn bland de tre. 21 Han var dubbelt så mycket ansedd som någon annan i detta tretal, och han var deras befälhavare. Men upp till de tre första nådde han inte.
22 (I) Dessutom Benaja,[e] son till Jojada från Kabseel, som var en tapper man och gjorde många stordåd. Han slog ner de två arielerna[f] i Moab, och det var han som en snövädersdag steg ner och slog ihjäl lejonet i brunnen. 23 (J) Han slog också ner egyptiern, en reslig man som var fem alnar lång.[g] Fastän egyptiern i handen hade ett spjut som liknade en vävbom, gick han emot honom beväpnad med bara sin stav. Han ryckte spjutet ur egyptierns hand och dödade honom med hans eget spjut. 24 Sådana bragder hade Benaja, Jojadas son, utfört, och han hade ett stort namn bland de tre hjältarna. 25 Han var mer ansedd än någon av de trettio, men upp till de tre första nådde han inte. David satte honom till ledare för sin livvakt.
26 (K) De tappra hjältarna var:

peloniten Heles,
28 tekoaiten Ira, Ickeshs son,

King James Version
11 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.
2 And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the Lord thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel.
3 Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the Lord; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord by Samuel.
4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.
5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which is the city of David.
6 And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.
7 And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of David.
8 And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
9 So David waxed greater and greater: for the Lord of hosts was with him.
10 These also are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, and with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the Lord concerning Israel.
11 And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had; Jashobeam, an Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain by him at one time.
12 And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties.
13 He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.
14 And they set themselves in the midst of that parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and the Lord saved them by a great deliverance.
15 Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
16 And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem.
17 And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, that is at the gate!
18 And the three 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: but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to the Lord.
19 And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest.
20 And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew them, and had a name among the three.
21 Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was their captain: howbeit he attained not to the first three.
22 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: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day.
23 And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and 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.
24 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among the three mighties.
