1 Davidson of Jessewas the man whom God made great, whom the God of Jacob chose to be king, and who was the composer of beautiful songs for Israel. These are David’s last words:
2 The spirit of the Lordspeaks through me;
his message is on my lips.
3 The God of Israel has spoken;
the protector of Israel said to me:
"The king who rules with justice,
who rules in obedience to God,
4 is like the sun shining on a cloudless dawn,
the sun that makes the grass sparkle after rain."
5 And that is how God will bless my descendants,
because he has made an eternal covenant with me,
an agreement that will not be broken,
a promise that will not be changed.
That is all I desire;
that will be my victory,
and God will surely bring it about.
6 But godless people are like thorns that are thrown away;
no one can touch them barehanded.
7 You must use an iron tool or a spear;
they will be burned completely.23.7: Verses 6-7 in Hebrew are unclear.
8 These are the names of David’s famous soldiers: the first was Josheb Basshebeth from Tachemon, who was the leader of "The Three";23.8: One ancient translation "The Three"; Hebrew the third.he fought with his spear23.8: Probable text (see 1 Ch 11.11) he fought with his spear; Hebrew unclear.against eight hundred men and killed them all in one battle.
9 The second of the famous three was Eleazarson of Dodo, of the clan of Ahoh. One day he and Davidchallenged the Philistines who had gathered for battle. The Israelites fell back, 10 but he stood his ground and fought the Philistines until his hand was so cramped that he could not let go of his sword. The Lordwon a great victory that day. After it was over, the Israelites returned to where Eleazar was and stripped the armor from the dead.
11 The third of the famous three was Shammahson of Ageefrom Harar. The Philistines had gathered at Lehi, where there was a field of peas. The Israelites fled from the Philistines, 12 but Shammah stood his ground in the field, defended it, and killed the Philistines. The Lordwon a great victory that day.
13 Near the beginning of harvest time23.13: Probable text Near the beginning of harvest time; Hebrew unclear.three of "The Thirty" went down to AdullamCave, where Davidwas, while a band of Philistines was camping in Rephaim Valley. 14 At that time Davidwas on a fortified hill, and a group of Philistines had occupied Bethlehem. 15 Davidgrew homesick and said, "How I wish someone would bring me a drink of water from the well by the gate at Bethlehem!" 16 The three famous soldiers forced their way through the Philistine camp, drew some water from the well, and brought it back to David. But he would not drink it; instead he poured it out as an offering to the Lord17 and said, "Lord, I could never drink this! It would be like drinking the blood of these men who risked their lives!" So he refused to drink it.
Those were the brave deeds of the three famous soldiers.
18 Joab’s brother Abishai(their mother was Zeruiah) was the leader of "The Famous Thirty." He fought with his spear against three hundred men and killed them, and became famous among "The Thirty."23.18: One ancient translation "The Thirty"; Hebrew "The Three."19 He was the most famous of "The Thirty"23.19: Probable text "The Thirty"; Hebrew "The Three."and became their leader, but he was not as famous as "The Three."
20 Benaiahson of Jehoiadafrom Kabzeelwas another famous soldier; he did many brave deeds, including killing two great Moabitewarriors. He once went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion. 21 He also killed an Egyptian, a huge man who was armed with a spear. Benaiah attacked him with his club, snatched the spear from the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with it. 22 Those were the brave deeds of Benaiah, who was one of "The Thirty."23.22: Probable text "The Thirty"; Hebrew "The Three."23 He was outstanding among them, but was not as famous as "The Three." Davidput him in charge of his bodyguard.
