Davids sidste ord
23 Det følgende er Davids sidste ord:
„Et budskab fra David, Isajs søn,
et budskab fra en, som Gud har gjort stor,
som Jakobs Gud har salvet til konge,
helten som Israel synger om.[a]
2 Herrens Ånd talte gennem mig,
hans ord lå på min tunge.
3 Israels Gud talte,
Israels beskytter sagde til mig:
‚Den, der regerer retfærdigt,
den, der hersker i ærefrygt for Gud,
4 stråler som morgenens lys,
skinner som solen fra en skyfri himmel,
som lysglimt i det våde græs,
der lokker urter frem af jorden.’
5 Står min slægt ikke ret ind for Gud?
Har Gud ikke oprettet en evig pagt med mig?
En nøje beregnet og bevaret pagt.
Alt, hvad jeg har brug for til frelse,
mine behov og det, jeg længes efter,
dem får han til at spire frem.
6 Men onde mennesker er som tjørne, der fejes bort,
ingen vil røre ved dem.
7 Med en jernstang eller et spydskaft bliver de samlet i bunke;
bagefter brændes de op.”
Davids krigshelte
8 Blandt Davids mægtige mænd var der tre store helte: Den største var takmonitten Josheb-Bashebet. Med sit spyd dræbte han engang 800 modstandere i ét slag.
9 Den næste af de tre store var Elazar, en søn af ahohitten Dodo. Han var sammen med David, da de triumferede over filistrene i slaget ved Pas-Dammim. Den israelitiske hær flygtede, 10 men Elazar holdt stand og huggede filistre ned, indtil hans hånd blev så stiv, at han ikke kunne slippe sværdskæftet. Den dag gav Herren ham en stor sejr, så da de andre mænd kom tilbage igen, var der ikke andet for dem at lave end at samle krigsbyttet.
11-12 Den sidste af de tre store helte var Shamma, Ages søn af Harar-slægten. Engang, da filistrene angreb ham og hans mænd i en linsemark, flygtede alle mændene, men Shamma blev stående midt i marken og slog ene mand filistrene på flugt. Ved den lejlighed gav Gud ham en stor sejr.
13 Foruden de tre store helte var der en større gruppe tapre krigere, som blev kaldt „De Tredive”. Engang i høsttiden kom tre af dem hen til David, som opholdt sig ved Adullams hule, mens filistrene havde slået lejr i Refaimdalen. 14 David var i klippeborgen, mens en af filistrenes garnisoner havde besat Betlehem, som lå i nærheden. 15 David var tørstig og sagde henkastet: „Det kunne være skønt med et krus vand fra brønden ved byporten hjemme i Betlehem!” 16 Da sneg de tre mænd sig gennem filistrenes lejr, øste vand fra brønden ved byporten og bragte det til David. Men han kunne ikke få sig selv til at drikke det. I stedet hældte han det ud på jorden som et offer til Herren. 17 „Gud forbyde, at jeg skulle drikke det!” udbrød han. „Det ville jo være som at drikke de tre mænds blod, der satte livet på spil for at hente det!” Derfor drak han det ikke. Det er blot ét eksempel på de tre heltes vovemod.
18-19 Abishaj, Joabs bror, var anfører for „De Tredive”. Engang dræbte han 300 fjendtlige soldater med sit spyd. Det var på grund af sådanne heltegerninger, at „De Tredive” så op til ham som deres anfører, men han kom ikke på højde med de tre store helte.
20 Benaja, Jojadas søn fra Kabtze’el, var en anden heltemodig kriger. Det var ham, der dræbte Ariels to sønner, kæmperne fra Moab. Det var også ham, der kravlede ned i en cisterne og dræbte en løve en dag, hvor det sneede. 21 Ved en anden lejlighed gik han løs på en egyptisk kæmpe, der havde et enormt spyd. Benaja slog spyddet ud af hånden på ham med sin stok og dræbte ham med det. 22 Det var den slags heltegerninger, som gjorde Benaja lige så berømt som de tre store helte, 23 selv om han ikke regnedes blandt dem. Men „De Tredive” så op til ham, og David udnævnte ham til chef for sin livvagt.
24-39 Her følger en liste over de heltemodige krigere, der blev kaldt „De Tredive”: Asael, Joabs bror; Elhanan, Dodos søn fra Betlehem; Shamma fra Harod; Elika fra Harod; Heletz fra Palti; Ira, Ikkesh’ søn fra Tekoa; Abiezer fra Anatot; Sibbekaj fra Husha; Zalmon fra Ahoa; Maharaj fra Netofa; Heled, Ba’anas søn fra Netofa; Ittaj, Ribajs søn fra Gibea i Benjamins land; Benaja fra Piraton; Hiddaj fra Ga’ash kløften; Abi-Albon fra Arba; Azmavet fra Bahurim; Eljahba fra Sha’albon; Jashens sønner; Jonatan, Shammas søn fra Harar; Ahiam, Sharars søn fra Harar; Elifelet, Ahasbajs søn fra Bet-Ma’aka; Eliam, Ahitofels søn fra Gilo; Hetzro fra Karmel; Pa’araj fra Arab; Jigal, Natans søn fra Zoba; Bani fra Gad; Zelek fra Ammon; Nahraj, Joabs våbendrager, fra Be’erot; Ira fra Jattir; Gareb fra Jattir; hittitten Urias. I alt 37 heltemodige mænd.

23 Dette er Davids sidste Ord; Så siger David, Isajs Søn, så siger Manden, Højt ophøjet, Jakobs Guds salvede, Helten i Israels Sange: 2 Ved mig talede Herrens Ånd, hans Ord var på min Tunge. 3 Jakobs Gud talede til mig, Israels Klippe sagde: "En retfærdig Hersker blandt Mennesker, en, der hersker i Gudsfrygt, 4 han stråler som Morgenrøden, som den skyfri Morgensol, der fremlokker Urter af Jorden efter Regn." 5 Således har jo mit Hus det med Gud. Han gav mig en evig Pagt, fuldgod og vel forvaret. Ja, al min Frelse og al min Lyst, skulde han ikke lade den spire frem? 6 Men Niddinger er alle som Torne i Ørk, der tages ikke på dem med Hænder; 7 ingen rører ved dem uden med Jern og Spydstage, i Ilden brændes de op.
8 Navnene på Davids Helte var følgende: Hakmoniten Isjbosjet, Anføreren for de tre; det var ham, der engang svang sit Spyd over 800 faldne på een Gang. 9 Blandt de tre Helte kom efter ham Ahohiten El'azar, Dodis Søn; han var med David ved Pas-Dammim, dengang Filisterne samlede sig der til Kamp. Da Israels Mænd trak sig tilbage, 10 holdt han Stand og huggede ned blandt Filisterne, til hans Hånd blev træt og klæbede fast ved Sværdet; Herren gav dem den bag en stor Sejr. Så vendte Folket tilbage og fulgte ham, kun for at plyndre. 11 Efter ham kom Harariten Sjamma, Ages Søn. Engang havde Filisterne samlet sig i Lehi, hvor der var en Mark fuld af Linser, og Folket flygtede for Filisterne; 12 men han stillede sig op midt på Marken og holdt den og huggede Filisterne ned; og Herren gav dem en stor Sejr.
13 Engang drog tre af de tredive ned og kom til David på Klippens Top, til Adullams Hule, medens Filisterskaren var lejret i Refaimdalen. 14 David var dengang i Klippeborgen, medens Filisternes Besætning lå i Betlehem. 15 Så vågnede Lysten hos David, og han sagde: "Hvem skaffer mig en Drik Vand fra Cisternen ved Betlehems Port?" 16 Da banede de tre Helte sig Vej gennem Filisternes Lejr, øste Vand af Cisternen ved Betlehems Port og bragte David det. Han vilde dog ikke drikke det, men udgød det for Herren 17 med de Ord: "Herren vogte mig for at gøre det! Skulde jeg drikke de Mænds Blod, som har vovet deres Liv!" Og han vilde ikke drikke det. Den Dåd udførte de tre Helte.
18 Abisjaj, Joabs Broder, Zerujas Søn, var Anfører for de tredive. Han svang sit Spyd over 300 faldne, og han var navnkundig iblandt de tredive; 19 iblandt de tredive var han højtæret, og han var deres Anfører; men de tre nåede han ikke.
20 Benaja, Jojadas Søn, var en tapper Mand fra Kabze'el, der havde udført store Heltegerninger; han fældede de to Arielsønner fra Moah; og han steg ned og fældede en Løve i en Cisterne, en Dag der var faldet Sne. 21 Ligeledes fældede han Ægypteren, en kæmpestor Mand. Ægypteren havde et Spyd i Hånden, men han gik ned imod ham meden Stok, vristede Spydet ud af Hånden på ham og dræbte ham med hans eget Spyd. 22 Disse Heltegerninger udførte Benaja, Jojadas Søn, og han var navnkundig iblandt de tredive Helte; 23 iblandt de tredive var han højt æret, men de tre nåede han ikke. David satte ham over sin Livvagt.
24 Til de tredive hørte Asa'el' Joabs Broder; Elbanan, Dodos Søn fra Betlehem; 25 Haroditen Sjamma; Haroditen Elika; 26 Paltiten Helez; Ira, Ikkesj's Søn fra Tekoa; 27 Abiezer fra Anatot; Husjatiten Sibbekaj; 28 Ahohiten Zalmon; Maharaj fra Netofa; 29 Heled, Ba'anas Søn, fra Nefofa; Ittaj, Ribajs Søn, fra det benjaminitiske Gibea; 30 Benaja fra Pir'aton; Hiddaj fra Nahale-Ga'asj; 31 Abiba'al fra Araba; Azmavet fra Bahurim; 32 Sja'alboniten Eljaba; Guniten Jasjen; 33 Harariten Jonatan, Sjammas Søn; Harariten Ahi'am, Sjarars Søn; 34 Elifelet, Ahazbajs Søn, fra Bet-Ma'aka; Eliam, Akitofels Søn, fra Gilo; 35 Hezro fra Karmel; Pa'araj fra Arab; 36 Jig'al, Natans Søn, fra Zoba; Gaditen Bani; 37 Ammoniten Zelek; Naharaj fra Be'erot, der var Joabs, Zerujas Søns, Våbendrager; 38 Ira fra Jattir; Gareb fra Jattir; 39 Hetiten Urias. I alt syv og tredive.

King James Version
2 Samuel 23
King James Version
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,
2 The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his word was in my tongue.
3 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.
4 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.
5 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.
6 But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:
7 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.
8 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.
9 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,
36 Igal the son of Nathan of Zobah, Bani the Gadite,
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.

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:
2 “The Spirit(C) of the Lord spoke through me;
his word was on my tongue.
3 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)
4 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.’
5 “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.
6 But evil men are all to be cast aside like thorns,(M)
which are not gathered with the hand.
7 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)
8 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.
9 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.
