David
Made King over All Israel |
|
|
 |
| 1 Chronicles 11:1 |
|
Then all Israel gathered to David at Hebron
and said, "Behold, we are your bone and your flesh. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 11:2 |
|
In times past, even when Saul was king, you
were the one who led out and brought in Israel; and the LORD your God said to
you, 'You shall shepherd My people Israel, and you shall be prince over My people
Israel.'" |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 11:3 |
|
So all the elders of Israel came to the king
at 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 through
Samuel. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Jerusalem,
Capital City |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 11:4 |
|
Then David and all Israel went to Jerusalem
(that is, Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 11:5 |
|
The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, "You
shall not enter here." Nevertheless David captured the stronghold of Zion (that
is, the city of David). |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 11:6 |
|
Now David had said, "Whoever strikes down a
Jebusite first shall be chief and commander." Joab the son of Zeruiah went up
first, so he became chief. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 11:7 |
|
Then David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore
it was called the city of David. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 11:8 |
|
He built the city all around, from the Millo
even to the surrounding area; and Joab repaired the rest of the city. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 11:9 |
|
David became greater and greater, for the LORD
of hosts was with him. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
David's
Mighty Men |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 11:10 |
|
Now these are the heads of the mighty men whom
David had, 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. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 11:11 |
|
These constitute the list of the mighty men
whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty; he
lifted up his spear against three hundred whom he killed at one time. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 11:12 |
|
After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite,
who was one of the three mighty men. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 11:13 |
|
He was with David at Pasdammim when the Philistines
were gathered together there to battle, and there was a plot of ground full of
barley; and the people fled before the Philistines. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 11:14 |
|
They took their stand in the midst of the plot
and defended it, and struck down the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a
great victory. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 11:15 |
|
Now three of the thirty chief men went down
to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam, while the army of the Philistines
was camping in the valley of Rephaim. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 11:16 |
|
David was then in the stronghold, while the
garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 11:17 |
|
David had a craving and said, "Oh that someone
would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!" |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 11:18 |
|
So the three broke through the camp of the Philistines
and drew water from the well of Bethlehem which was by the gate, and took it and
brought it to David; nevertheless David would not drink it, but poured it out
to the LORD; |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 11:19 |
|
and he said, "Be it far from me before my God
that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of these men who went at the risk
of their lives? For at the risk of their lives they brought it." Therefore he
would not drink it. These things the three mighty men did. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 11:20 |
|
As for Abshai the brother of Joab, he was chief
of the thirty, and he swung his spear against three hundred and killed them; and
he had a name as well as the thirty. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 11:21 |
|
Of the three in the second rank he was the most
honored and became their commander; however, he did not attain to the first three. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 11:22 |
|
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant
man of Kabzeel, mighty in deeds, struck down the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He
also went down and killed a lion inside a pit on a snowy day. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 11:23 |
|
He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature
five cubits tall. Now in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam,
but he went down to him with a club and snatched the spear from the Egyptian's
hand and killed him with his own spear. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 11:24 |
|
These things Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did,
and had a name as well as the three mighty men. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 11:25 |
|
Behold, he was honored among the thirty, but
he did not attain to the three; and David appointed him over his guard. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 11:26 |
