and the sweet psalmist of Israel:23:1 Or the hero of the songs of Israel or the favorite of the Strong One of Israel
2 The Spirit of the LORD spoke through me;
His word was on my tongue.
3 The God of Israel spoke;
the Rock of Israel said to me,
‘He who rules the people with justice,
who rules in the fear of God,
4 is like the light of the morning
at sunrise of a cloudless dawn,
the glistening after the rain
on the sprouting grass of the earth.’
5 Is not my house right with God?
For He has established with me
an everlasting covenant,
ordered and secured in every part.
Will He not bring about my full salvation
and my every desire?
6 But the worthless are all like thorns raked aside,
for they can never be gathered by hand.
7 The man who touches them must be armed with iron
or with the shaft of a spear.
The fire burns them to ashes
in the place where they lie."
David’s Mighty Men
8 These are the names of David’s mighty men:
Josheb-basshebeththe Tahchemonite23:8 Tahchemonite is probably a variant of Hachmonite; see 1 Chronicles 11:11.was chief of the Three.23:8 Or chief among the captainsHe wielded his spear against23:8 Some LXX manuscripts (see also 1 Chronicles 11:11); Hebrew He was called Adino the Eznite because ofeight hundred men, whom he killed at one time.
9 Next in command was Eleazarson of Dodo23:9 Dodo is a variant of Dodai; see 1 Chronicles 27:4.the Ahohite. As one of the three mighty men, he went with Davidto taunt the Philistines who had gathered for battle at Pas-dammim. The men of Israel retreated, 10 but Eleazar stood his ground and struck the Philistines until his hand grew weary and stuck to his sword. The LORD brought about a great victory that day. Then the troops returned to him, but only to plunder the dead.
11 And after him was Shammahson of Ageethe Hararite. When the Philistines had banded together near a field full of lentils, Israel’s troops fled from them. 12 But Shammah took his stand in the middle of the field, defended it, and struck down the Philistines. So the LORD brought about a great victory.
13 At harvest time, three of the thirty chief men went down to Davidat the cave of Adullam, while a company of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim. 14 At that time Davidwas in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was at Bethlehem. 15 Davidlonged 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 men broke through the Philistine camp, drew water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem, and brought it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead , he poured it out to the LORD, 17 saying, "Far be it from me, O LORD, to do this! Is this not the blood of the men who risked their lives?" So he refused to drink it.
Such were the exploits of the three mighty men.
18 Now Abishai, the brother of Joaband son of Zeruiah, was chief of the Three,23:18 Most Hebrew manuscripts (see also 1 Chronicles 11:20); two Hebrew manuscripts and Syriac the Thirtyand he wielded his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name along with the Three. 19 Was he not more honored than the Three?23:19 Hebrew; Syriac the ThirtyAnd he became their commander, even though he was not included among the Three.
20 And Benaiahson of Jehoiadawas a man of valor23:20 Or Benaiah son of Jehoiada was the son of Ishhaifrom Kabzeel, a man of many exploits. He struck down two champions23:20 Or two sons of Arielof Moab, and on a snowy day he went down into a pit and killed a lion. 21 He also struck down an Egyptian, a huge man. Although the Egyptian had a spear in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club, snatched the spear from his hand, and killed the Egyptian with his own spear. 22 These were the exploits of Benaiahson of Jehoiada, who won a name along with the three mighty men. 23 He was most honored among the Thirty, but he did not become one of the Three. And Davidappointed him over his guard.
