DIVRE HAYAMIM ALEF - FIRST CHRONICLES
which is Yevus; where the Yevusites were the inhabitants
of the land.
5 And the inhabitants of Yevus said to Dawid, You shall
not come here. Nevertheless Dawid took the castle of
Tzion, which is the city of Dawid.
6 And Dawid said, Whoever smites the Yevusites first
shall be chief and commander. So Yoav the son of
Tzeruyah went up first, and was chief.
7 And Dawid dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it
the city of Dawid.
8 And he built the city all around, even from Millo all
around: and Yoav repaired the rest of the city.
9 So Dawid grew greater and greater: for vuvh tzevaoth
was with him.
10 These also are the heads of the mighty men whom
Dawid had, who strengthened themselves with him in his
malchut, and with kol Yisrael, to make him melech,
according to the word of vuvh concerning Yisrael. 4213
11 And this is the number of the mighty men whom
Dawid had; Yashoveam, son of a Hachmonite, the chief
of the thirty: he lifted up his spear against three hundred
slain by him at one time.
12 And after him was El-Azar the son of Dodo, the
Achohite, who was one of the three mighty men.
13 He was with Dawid at Pas-Dammim, and there the
Plishtim were gathered together to battle, where there was
a field full of barley; and the people fled from before the
Plishtim.
14 And they set themselves in the midst of that field, and
delivered it, and killed the Plishtim; and vuvh saved them
by a great deliverance.
15 Now three of the thirty commanders went down to the
rock to Dawid, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of
the Plishtim camped in the Valley of Refayim.
16 And Dawid was then in the guard post, and the
Plishtim guard post was then at Beth-Lechem.
17 And Dawid longed, and said, Oh that one would give
me drink of the mayim of the well of Beth-Lechem, that
is at the gate!
18 And the three broke through the host of the Plishtim,
and drew mayim out of the well of Beth-Lechem, that
was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to Dawid: but
Dawid would not drink of it, but poured it out to vuvh,
19 And said, My Elohim forbids me, that I should do this
thing: shall I drink the dahm of these men that have put
their lives in jeopardy? For with the jeopardy of their
lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it.
These things did these three mighty men.
20 And Avishai the brother of Yoav, he was chief of the
three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he
killed them, and made a name among the three.
21 Of the three, he was more honorable than the two; for
he was their commander: however he attained not to the
position of the first three.
22 Benyahu the son of Yahoyada, the son of a brave man
of Kavzeel, who had done many acts; he killed two lionlike
men of Moav: also he went down and killed a lion in
a pit on a snowy day.
23 And he killed a Mitzri, a man of great size, five cubits
high; and in the Mitzri’s hand was a spear like a weaver’s
beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked
the spear out of the Mitzri’s hand, and killed him with his
own spear.

24 These things did Benyahu the son of Yahoyada, and
had the name among the three mightiest.
25 Behold, he was honorable among the thirty, but
attained not to the first three: and Dawid set him over his
court.

Now these are they that came to Dawid to Ziklag,
while he yet kept himself hidden because of Shaul the son
of Kish: and they were among the mighty men, helpers of
the war.
2 They were armed with bows, and could use both the
right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting
arrows out of a bow, even of Shaul’s brothers of
Benyamin.

Shemaah the Giveathite; and Yeziel, and Pelet, the sons
