I Chronicles 10

¹And the Philistines have fought with Israel, and the men of Israel flee from the face of the Philistines, and fall wounded in mount Gilboa,

²and the Philistines pursue after Saul, and after his sons, and the Philistines smite Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-Shua, sons of Saul.

³And the battle is heavy on Saul, and those shooting with the bow find him, and he is wounded by those shooting,

⁴and Saul saith unto the bearer of his weapons, ‘Draw thy sword, and pierce me with it, lest these uncircumcised come -- and have abused me.' And the bearer of his weapons hath not been willing, for he feareth exceedingly, and Saul taketh the sword, and falleth upon it;

⁵and the bearer of his weapons seeth that Saul is dead, and falleth, he also, on the sword, and dieth;

⁶and Saul dieth, and his three sons, and all his house -- together they died.

⁷And all the men of Israel who are in the valley see that they have fled, and that Saul and his sons have died, and they forsake their cities and flee, and the Philistines come and dwell in them.

⁸And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the Philistines come to strip the wounded, and find Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa,

⁹and strip him, and bear away his head, and his weapons, and send into the land of the Philistines round about to proclaim tidings to their idols and the people,

¹⁰and put his weapons in the house of their gods, and his skull they have fixed in the house of Dagon.

¹¹And all Jabesh-Gilead hear of all that the Philistines have done to Saul,

¹²and all the men of valour rise and bear away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and bring them in to Jabesh, and bury their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fast seven days.

¹³And Saul dieth because of his trespass that he trespassed against Jehovah, against the word of Jehovah that he kept not, and also for asking at a familiar spirit -- to inquire, --

¹⁴and he inquired not at Jehovah, and He putteth him to death, and turneth round the kingdom to David son of Jesse.

I Chronicles 11

¹And gathered are all Israel unto David to Hebron, saying, ‘Lo, thy bone and thy flesh are we;

²even in time past, even in Saul's being king, it is thou who art taking out and bringing in Israel, and Jehovah thy God saith to thee: Thou dost feed My people Israel, and thou art leader over My people Israel.'

³And all the elders of Israel come in unto the king to Hebron, and David maketh with them a covenant in Hebron before Jehovah, and they anoint David for king over Israel, according to the word of Jehovah by the hand of Samuel.

⁴And David goeth, and all Israel, to Jerusalem -- it is Jebus -- and there the Jebusite, the inhabitants of the land.

⁵And the inhabitants of Jebus say to David, ‘Thou dost not come in hither;' and David captureth the fortress of Zion -- it is the city of David.

⁶And David saith, ‘Whoever smiteth the Jebusite first doth become head and prince;' and go up first doth Joab son of Zeruiah and becometh head.

⁷And David dwelleth in the fortress, therefore they have called it, ‘City of David;'

⁸and he buildeth the city round about, from Millo, and unto the circumference, and Joab restoreth the rest of the city.

⁹And David goeth, going on and becoming great, and Jehovah of Hosts is with him.

¹⁰And these are heads of the mighty ones whom David hath, who are strengthening themselves with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to cause him to reign, according to the word of Jehovah, over Israel.

¹¹And this is an account of the mighty ones whom David hath: Jashobeam son of a Hachmonite is head of the thirty; he is lifting up his spear against three hundred -- wounded, at one time.

¹²And after him is Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite, he is among the three mighty;

¹³he hath been with David in Pas-Dammim, and the Philistines have been gathered there to battle, and a portion of the field is full of barley, and the people have fled from the face of the Philistines,

¹⁴and they station themselves in the midst of the portion, and deliver it, and smite the Philistines, and Jehovah saveth -- a great salvation.

¹⁵And three of the thirty heads go down on the rock unto David, unto the cave of Adullam, and the host of the Philistines is encamping in the valley of Rephaim,

¹⁶and David is then in the fortress, and the station of the Philistines is then in Beth-Lehem,

¹⁷and David longeth, and saith, ‘Who doth give me to drink water from the well of Beth-Lehem, that is at the gate!'

¹⁸And the three break through the camp of the Philistines, and draw water from the well of Beth-Lehem, that is at the gate, and bear and bring in unto David, and David hath not been willing to drink it, and poureth it out to Jehovah,

¹⁹and saith, ‘Far be it from me, by my God, to do this; the blood of these men do I drink with their lives? for with their lives they have brought it;' and he was not willing to drink it; these things did the three mighty ones.

²⁰And Abishai brother of Joab, he hath been head of the three: and he is lifting up his spear against three hundred -- wounded, and hath a name among three.

²¹Of the three by the two he is honoured, and becometh their head; and unto the first three he hath not come.

²²Benaiah son of Jehoiada, son of a man of valour, of great deeds, from Kabzeel: he hath smitten the two lion-like Moabites, and he hath gone down and smitten the lion in the midst of the pit, in the day of snow.

²³And he hath smitten the man, the Egyptian -- a man of measure, five by the cubit -- and in the hand of the Egyptian is a spear like a beam of weavers, and he goeth down unto him with a rod, and taketh violently away the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slayeth him with his own spear.

²⁴These things hath Benaiah son of Jehoiada done, and hath a name among the three mighty ones.

²⁵Of the thirty, lo, he is honoured, and unto the first three he hath not come, and David setteth him over his guard.

²⁶And the mighty ones of the forces are Asahel brother of Joab, Elhanan son of Dodo of Beth-Lehem,

I Chronicles 12

¹And these are those coming in unto David to Ziklag, while shut up because of Saul son of Kish, and they are among the mighty ones, helping the battle,

¹⁰Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,

¹⁵these are they who have passed over the Jordan in the first month, -- and it is full over all its banks -- and cause all they of the valley to flee to the east and to the west.

¹⁶And there come of the sons of Benjamin and Judah unto the stronghold to David,

¹⁷and David goeth out before them, and answereth and saith to them, ‘If for peace ye have come in unto me, to help me, I have a heart to unite with you; and if to betray me to mine adversaries -- without violence in my hands -- the God of our fathers doth see and reprove.'

¹⁸And the Spirit hath clothed Amasai, head of the captains: ‘To thee, O David, and with thee, O son of Jesse -- peace! peace to thee, and peace to thy helper, for thy God hath helped thee;' and David receiveth them, and putteth them among the heads of the troop.

¹⁹And of Manasseh there have fallen unto David in his coming with the Philistines against Israel to battle -- and they helped them not, for by counsel the princes of the Philistines sent him away, saying, ‘With our heads he doth fall unto his master Saul.' --

²⁰In his going unto Ziglag there have fallen unto him of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillthai, heads of the thousands that are of Manasseh;

²¹and they have helped with David over the troop, for mighty of valour are all of them, and they are captains in the host,

²²for at that time, day by day, they come in unto David to help him, till it is a great camp, like a camp of God.

²³And these are the numbers of the head, of the armed men of the host; they have come in unto David to Hebron to turn round the kingdom of Saul unto him, according to the mouth of Jehovah.

²⁴The sons of Judah, bearing target and spear, are six thousand and eight hundred, armed ones of the host.

²⁵Of the sons of Simeon, mighty ones of valour for the host, are seven thousand and a hundred.

³⁹and they are there, with David, three days, eating and drinking, for their brethren have prepared for them.

⁴⁰And also those near unto them, unto Issachar, and Zebulun, and Naphtali, are bringing in bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen -- food of fine flour, fig-cakes and grape-cakes, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep, in abundance, for joy is in Israel.
