1 Chronicles 11

Common English Bible CEB

1 All the Israelites gathered around David at Hebron. "We're your own flesh and blood," they said.

2 "In the past, even when Saul ruled over us, you were the one who led Israel. The LORD your God told you, ‘You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become a leader over my people Israel.'"

3 So all of Israel's elders came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them before the LORD. They anointed David to make him king over Israel, just as the LORD had promised through Samuel.

4 Then David and all Israel marched to Jerusalem, that is, Jebus, where the Jebusites lived.

5 The people who lived in Jebus told David, "You'll never get in here!" But David captured the mountain fortress of Zion, which became David's City.

6 David had said, "The first one to kill a Jebusite will become commander in chief!" Joab, Zeruiah's son, was the first to attack and so became commander in chief.

7 David occupied the fortress, so it was renamed David's City.

8 He also built up the city on all sides, including its own foundations and the surrounding areas, while Joab restored the rest of the city.

9 David grew increasingly powerful, and the LORD of heavenly forces was with him.

10 These are the commanders of David's warriors who continued to support him while he was king. Together with all Israel, they made him king, as the LORD had promised Israel.

11 This is the list of David's warriors: Jashobeam, a Hacmonite, was commander of the Thirty. He raised his spear against eight hundred, killing them on a single occasion.

12 Next in command came Eleazar, Dodo's son the Ahohite, who was one of the three warriors.

13 He was with David at Pas-dammim. The Philistines were gathered there for battle, where part of a field was full of barley. When the people ran away from the Philistines,

14 he and David stood in the middle of the field, held their ground, and defeated the Philistines. So the LORD achieved a great victory.

15 Three of the thirty commanders went down from the rock to David at the fortress of Adullam, while the army of the Philistines camped in the Rephaim Valley.

16 At that time David was in the fortress, and a Philistine fort was in Bethlehem.

17 David had a craving and said, "If only someone could give me a drink of water from the well by the gate in Bethlehem."

18 So the three warriors broke through the Philistine camp and drew water from the well by the gate in Bethlehem and brought it back to David. But he refused to drink it and poured it out to the LORD.

19 "God forbid that I should do that," he said. "Isn't this the blood of men who risked their lives?" So he refused to drink it. Since they had brought it at the risk of their lives, David refused to drink it. These were the kinds of things the three warriors did.

20 Abishai, Joab's brother, was chief of the Thirty. He raised his spear against the three hundred men he had slain, but he wasn't considered one of the Three.

21 He was the most famous of the Thirty. He became their commander, but he wasn't among the Three.

22 Benaiah, Jehoiada's son from Kabzeel, was a hero who performed great deeds. He killed two of Moab's leaders, and on a snowy day went down into a pit where he killed a lion.

23 He also killed an Egyptian seven and a half feet tall, who was holding a spear like a weaver's beam. Benaiah went down to him with a club, grabbed the spear from the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with it.

24 These were the exploits of Benaiah, Jehoiada's son; he wasn't considered one of the three warriors.

25 He was famous among the Thirty, but didn't become one of the Three. David placed him in command of his own bodyguard.

1 Then all Israel gathered together to David at Hebron and said, "See, we are your bone and flesh.

2 For some time now, even while Saul was king, it was you who commanded the army of Israel. The Lord your God said to you: It is you who shall be shepherd of my people Israel, you who shall be ruler over my people Israel."

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.

4 David and all Israel marched to Jerusalem, that is Jebus, where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.

5 The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, "You will not come in here." Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion, now the city of David.

6 David had said, "Whoever attacks the Jebusites first shall be chief and commander." And Joab son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief.

7 David resided in the stronghold; therefore it was called the city of David.

8 He built the city all around, from the Millo in complete circuit; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

9 And David became greater and greater, for the Lord of hosts was with him.

10 Now these are the chiefs of David's warriors, 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 This is an account of David's mighty warriors: Jashobeam, son of Hachmoni, was chief of the Three; he wielded his spear against three hundred whom he killed at one time.

12 And next to him among the three warriors was Eleazar son of Dodo, the Ahohite.

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. Now the people had fled from the Philistines,

14 but he and David took their stand in the middle of the plot, defended it, and killed the Philistines; and the Lord saved them by a great victory.

15 Three of the thirty chiefs went down to the rock to David at the cave of Adullam, while the army of Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.

16 David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then at Bethlehem.

17 David said longingly, "O that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem that is by the gate!"

18 Then the Three broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and they brought it to David. But David would not drink of it; he poured it out to the Lord,

19 and said, "My God forbid that I should do this. Can I drink the blood of these men? For at the risk of their lives they brought it." Therefore he would not drink it. The three warriors did these things.

20 Now Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the Thirty. With his spear he fought against three hundred and killed them, and won a name beside the Three.

21 He was the most renowned of the Thirty, and became their commander; but he did not attain to the Three.

22 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a valiant man of Kabzeel, a doer of great deeds; he struck down two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen.

23 And he killed 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 against him with a staff, snatched the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.

24 Such were the things Benaiah son of Jehoiada did, and he won a name beside the three warriors.

25 He was renowned among the Thirty, but he did not attain to the Three. And David put him in charge of his bodyguard.

26 The warriors of the armies were Asahel brother of Joab, Elhanan son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

27 Shammoth of Harod, Helez the Pelonite,
