11:1 Then
all
Israel
gathered
together
to
David
at
Hebron
and
said,
"Behold,
we
are
your
bone
and
flesh.
11:2 In
times
past,
even
when
Saul
was
king,
it
was
you
who
led
out
and
brought
in
Israel.
And
the
LORD
your
God
said
to
you,
'You
shall
be
shepherd
of
my
people
Israel,
and
you
shall
be
prince
over
my
people
Israel.'"
11:3 So
all
the
elders
of
Israel
came
to
the
king
at
Hebron,
and
David
made
a
covenant
with
them
at
Hebron
before
the
LORD.
And
they
anointed
David
king
over
Israel,
according
to
the
word
of
the
LORD
by
Samuel.
11:4 And
David
and
all
Israel
went
to
Jerusalem,
that
is,
Jebus,
where
the
Jebusites
were,
the
inhabitants
of
the
land.
11:5 The
inhabitants
of
Jebus
said
to
David,
"You
will
not
come
in
here."
Nevertheless,
David
took
the
stronghold
of
Zion,
that
is,
the
city
of
David.
11:6 David
said,
"Whoever
strikes
the
Jebusites
first
shall
be
chief
and
commander."
And
Joab
the
son
of
Zeruiah
went
up
first,
so
he
became
chief.
11:7 And
David
lived
in
the
stronghold;
therefore
it
was
called
the
city
of
David.
11:8 And
he
built
the
city
all
around
from
the
Millo
in
complete
circuit,
and
Joab
repaired
the
rest
of
the
city.
11:9 And
David
became
greater
and
greater,
for
the
LORD
of
hosts
was
with
him.
11:10 Now
these
are
the
chiefs
of
David's
mighty
men,
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.
11:11 This
is
an
account
of
David's
mighty
men:
Jashobeam,
a
Hachmonite,
was
chief
of
the
three.
He
wielded
his
spear
against
300
whom
he
killed
at
one
time.
11:12 And
next
to
him
among
the
three
mighty
men
was
Eleazar
the
son
of
Dodo,
the
Ahohite.
11:13 He
was
with
David
at
Pas-dammim
when
the
Philistines
were
gathered
there
for
battle.
There
was
a
plot
of
ground
full
of
barley,
and
the
men
fled
from
the
Philistines.
11:14 But
he
took
his
stand
in
the
midst
of
the
plot
and
defended
it
and
killed
the
Philistines.
And
the
LORD
saved
them
by
a
great
victory.
11:15 Three
of
the
thirty
chief
men
went
down
to
the
rock
to
David
at
the
cave
of
Adullam,
when
the
army
of
Philistines
was
encamped
in
the
Valley
of
Rephaim.
11:16 David
was
then
in
the
stronghold,
and
the
garrison
of
the
Philistines
was
then
at
Bethlehem.
11:17 And
David
said
longingly,
"Oh
that
someone
would
give
me
water
to
drink
from
the
well
of
Bethlehem
that
is
by
the
gate!"
11:18 Then
the
three
mighty
men
broke
through
the
camp
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.
But
David
would
not
drink
it.
He
poured
it
out
to
the
LORD
11:19 and
said,
"Far
be
it
from
me
before
my
God
that
I
should
do
this.
Shall
I
drink
the
lifeblood
of
these
men
For
at
the
risk
of
their
lives
they
brought
it."
Therefore
he
would
not
drink
it.
These
things
did
the
three
mighty
men.
11:20 Now
Abishai,
the
brother
of
Joab,
was
chief
of
the
thirty.
And
he
wielded
his
spear
against
300
men
and
killed
them
and
won
a
name
beside
the
three.
11:21 He
was
the
most
renowned
of
the
thirty
and
became
their
commander,
but
he
did
not
attain
to
the
three.
11:22 And
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada
was
a
valiant
man
of
Kabzeel,
a
doer
of
great
deeds.
He
struck
down
two
heroes
of
Moab.
He
also
went
down
and
struck
down
a
lion
in
a
pit
on
a
day
when
snow
had
fallen.
11:23 And
he
struck
down
an
Egyptian,
a
man
of
great
stature,
five
cubits
tall.
The
Egyptian
had
in
his
hand
a
spear
like
a
weaver's
beam,
but
Benaiah
went
down
to
him
with
a
staff
and
snatched
the
spear
out
of
the
Egyptian's
hand
and
killed
him
with
his
own
spear.
11:24 These
things
did
Benaiah
the
son
of
Jehoiada
and
won
a
name
beside
the
three
mighty
men.
11:25 He
was
renowned
among
the
thirty,
but
he
did
not
attain
to
the
three.
And
David
set
him
over
his
bodyguard.
