Naging Hari si David(A)
11 Ang buong sambayanang Israel ay nagpunta kay David sa Hebron. “Kami ay dugo ng iyong dugo at laman ng iyong laman,” sabi nila. 2 “Nang panahong hari si Saul, pinangunahan mo ang hukbo ng Israel sa pakikipaglaban, at ibinabalik mo silang muli. Sinabi sa iyo ni Yahweh na iyong Diyos ang ganito: ‘Ikaw ang magiging pastol ng aking bayang Israel. Ikaw ang mamumuno sa kanila.’” 3 Lahat ng pinuno ng Israel ay pumunta sa Hebron, at sa harapan ni Yahweh ay gumawa si David ng kasunduan sa kanila. Binuhusan nila ito ng langis, at itinanghal na hari ng Israel. Kaya't natupad ang sinabi ni Yahweh sa pamamagitan ni Samuel.
4 Ang(B) Jerusalem na noo'y tinatawag na Jebus ay sinalakay ni Haring David at ng mga Israelita. 5 Ngunit sinabi sa kanya ng mga Jebuseo na hindi siya makakapasok sa lunsod. Gayunman, pumasok din si David at nakuha nito ang kampo ng Zion, kaya't kilala ngayon ang lugar na iyon na Lunsod ni David. 6 Bago nila pinasok ito, sinabi ni David, “Ang unang makapatay ng isang Jebuseo ay gagawin kong pinuno.” Ang unang nangahas umakyat sa kampo ay si Joab na anak ni Zeruias, kaya siya ang ginawang pinakamataas na pinuno ng hukbo. 7 Doon tumira si David sa kampo, kaya tinawag ang lugar na iyon na Lunsod ni David. 8 Pinalawak niya ang lunsod sa palibot nito mula sa Millo, samantalang itinayong muli ni Joab ang ibang bahagi ng lunsod. 9 Lalong tumatag ang paghahari ni David, sapagkat pinapatnubayan siya ni Yahweh, ang Makapangyarihan sa lahat.
Ang mga Bantog na Kawal ni David(C)
10 Ito naman ang mga pinuno ng mga magigiting na tauhan ni David na sa tulong ng buong Israel, ay nagpalakas at nagpatatag ng kanyang kaharian, sa pangako ni Yahweh. 11 Una sa lahat, ay si Jasobeam, isang Hacmonita. Siya ang pinuno ng pangkat na Tatlo.[a] Kahit nag-iisa, nakapatay siya ng 300 kaaway sa pamamagitan lamang ng kanyang sibat.
12 Ang pangalawa'y si Eleazar, isa sa tinaguriang Tatlo. Siya'y anak ni Dodo na isang Ahohita. 13 Si Eleazar ang kasama ni David sa Pas-dammim nang mapalaban sila sa mga Filisteo sa isang bukid ng sebada. Natakot noon ang mga Israelita, at sila'y tumakas. 14 Ngunit tumayo si Eleazar sa gitna ng bukid at nakipaglaban. Sa ginawang ito, napatay niya ang mga Filisteo at nagtagumpay sa tulong ni Yahweh.
15 Minsan, nang ang mga Filisteo'y nagkakampo sa kapatagan ng Higante, tatlo sa tatlumpung mga pinuno ng Israel ang bumabâ sa kampo ni David, malapit sa yungib ng Adullam. 16 Noo'y nasa isang kuta si David; nasakop naman ng isang pangkat ng mga Filisteo ang Bethlehem. 17 Minsa'y buong pananabik na nasabi ni David, “May magbigay sana ng tubig sa akin mula sa balon sa tabi ng pintuang papasok sa Bethlehem!” 18 Nang marinig ito, sumugod agad ang tatlong magigiting na kawal, lumusot sa hanay ng mga Filisteo at kumuha nga ng tubig. Ngunit hindi ito ininom ni David. Sa halip, ibinuhos niya ito bilang handog kay Yahweh. 19 Sinabi niya, “Hindi ko maiinom ito sapagkat para nang dugo nila ang aking ininom. Buhay ang itinaya nila sa pagkuha nito!” Ito ang isa sa mga kagitingang ginawa ng Tatlo.
20 Si Abisai na kapatid ni Joab ay nakapatay ng tatlong daang kaaway sa pamamagitan ng sibat, kaya lalo siyang kinilala ng Bantog na Tatlumpu[b] na kanyang pinamumunuan. 21 Siya ang pinakamatapang sa Tatlumpu[c] kaya naging pinuno ng mga ito. Ngunit hindi niya napantayan ang Tatlong mandirigma.
22 Kabilang din sa mga kinilalang kawal si Benaias na anak ni Joiadang taga-Kabzeel. Siya naman ang pumatay sa dalawang mandirigma sa Moab, at lumusong sa balon minsang taglamig at pumatay sa leong naroon. 23 Siya rin ang pumatay sa higanteng Egipcio na dalawa't kalahating metro ang taas at may armas na isang sibat na ang hawakan ay napakalaki. Sinagupa niya ito na ang hawak lamang niya'y batuta, ngunit naagaw niya ang sibat. Ito na rin ang ginamit niya sa pagpatay sa higante. 24 Dahil sa mga ginawang ito, siya'y nakilala rin, tulad ng Tatlo.[d] 25 Nangunguna siya sa Tatlumpu, ngunit hindi rin niya nahigitan ang kagitingan ng Tatlo. Siya ang ginawa ni David na pinuno ng kanyang mga bantay.

1 Chronicles 11
New International Version
David Becomes King Over Israel(A)
11 All Israel(B) came together to David at Hebron(C) and said, “We are your own flesh and blood. 2 In the past, even while Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel on their military campaigns.(D) And the Lord your God said to you, ‘You will shepherd(E) my people Israel, and you will become their ruler.(F)’”
3 When all the elders of Israel had come to King David at Hebron, he made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord, and they anointed(G) David king over Israel, as the Lord had promised through Samuel.
David Conquers Jerusalem(H)
4 David and all the Israelites marched to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus). The Jebusites(I) who lived there 5 said to David, “You will not get in here.” Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion—which is the City of David.
6 David had said, “Whoever leads the attack on the Jebusites will become commander in chief.” Joab(J) son of Zeruiah went up first, and so he received the command.
7 David then took up residence in the fortress, and so it was called the City of David. 8 He built up the city around it, from the terraces[a](K) to the surrounding wall, while Joab restored the rest of the city. 9 And David became more and more powerful,(L) because the Lord Almighty was with him.
David’s Mighty Warriors(M)
10 These were the chiefs of David’s mighty warriors—they, together with all Israel,(N) gave his kingship strong support to extend it over the whole land, as the Lord had promised(O)— 11 this is the list of David’s mighty warriors:(P)
Jashobeam,[b] a Hakmonite, was chief of the officers[c]; he raised his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed in one encounter.
12 Next to him was Eleazar son of Dodai the Ahohite, one of the three mighty warriors. 13 He was with David at Pas Dammim when the Philistines gathered there for battle. At a place where there was a field full of barley, the troops fled from the Philistines. 14 But they took their stand in the middle of the field. They defended it and struck the Philistines down, and the Lord brought about a great victory.(Q)
15 Three of the thirty chiefs came down to David to the rock at the cave of Adullam, while a band of Philistines was encamped in the Valley(R) of Rephaim. 16 At that time David was in the stronghold,(S) and the Philistine garrison was at Bethlehem. 17 David longed for water and said, “Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!” 18 So the Three 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(T) it out to the Lord. 19 “God forbid that I should do this!” he said. “Should I drink the blood of these men who went at the risk of their lives?” Because they risked their lives to bring it back, David would not drink it.
Such were the exploits of the three mighty warriors.
20 Abishai(U) the brother of Joab was chief of the Three. He raised his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed, and so he became as famous as the Three. 21 He was doubly honored above the Three and became their commander, even though he was not included among them.
22 Benaiah son of Jehoiada, a valiant fighter from Kabzeel,(V) 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.(W) 23 And he struck down an Egyptian who was five cubits[d] tall. Although the Egyptian had a spear like a weaver’s rod(X) 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. 24 Such were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada; he too was as famous as the three mighty warriors. 25 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.
