Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which is the city of David.\n \n6\u00a0And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.\n \n7\u00a0And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of David.\n \n8\u00a0And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.\n \n9\u00a0So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts was with him.\n \n10\u00a0These also are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, and with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.\n \n11\u00a0And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had; Jashobeam, an Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain by him at one time.\n \n12\u00a0And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties.\n \n13\u00a0He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.\n \n14\u00a0And they set themselves in the midst of that parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great deliverance.\n \n15\u00a0Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim.\n \n16\u00a0And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem.\n \n17\u00a0And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, that is at the gate!\n \n18\u00a0And the three brake through the host 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 of it, but poured it out to the LORD.\n \n19\u00a0And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood 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 mightiest.\n \n20\u00a0And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew them, and had a name among the three.\n \n21\u00a0Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was their captain: howbeit he attained not to the first three.\n \n22\u00a0Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done many acts; he slew two lionlike men of Moab: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day.\n \n23\u00a0And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian'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 Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.\n \n24\u00a0These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among the three mighties.\n \n25\u00a0Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but attained not to the first three: and David set him over his guard.\n \n26\u00a0Also the valiant men of the armies were, Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,\n \n27\u00a0Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite,\n \n28\u00a0Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abiezer the Antothite,\n \n29\u00a0Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite,\n \n30\u00a0Maharai the Netophathite, Heled the son of Baanah the Netophathite,\n \n31\u00a0Ithai the son of Ribai of Gibeah, that pertained to the children of Benjamin, Benaiah the Pirathonite,\n \n32\u00a0Hurai of the brooks of Gaash, Abiel the Arbathite,\n \n33\u00a0Azmaveth the Baharumite, Eliahba the Shaalbonite,\n \n34\u00a0The sons of Hashem the Gizonite, Jonathan the son of Shage the Hararite,\n \n35\u00a0Ahiam the son of Sacar the Hararite, Eliphal the son of Ur,\n \n36\u00a0Hepher the Mecherathite, Ahijah the Pelonite,\n \n37\u00a0Hezro the Carmelite, Naarai the son of Ezbai,\n \n38\u00a0Joel the brother of Nathan, Mibhar the son of Haggeri,\n \n39\u00a0Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Berothite, the armourbearer of Joab the son of Zeruiah,\n \n40\u00a0Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite,\n \n41\u00a0Uriah the Hittite, Zabad the son of Ahlai,\n \n42\u00a0Adina the son of Shiza the Reubenite, a captain of the Reubenites, and thirty with him,\n \n43\u00a0Hanan the son of Maachah, and Joshaphat the Mithnite,\n \n44\u00a0Uzzia the Ashterathite, Shama and Jehiel the sons of Hothan the Aroerite,\n \n45\u00a0Jediael the son of Shimri, and Joha his brother, the Tizite,\n \n46\u00a0Eliel the Mahavite, and Jeribai, and Joshaviah, the sons of Elnaam, and Ithmah the Moabite,\n \n47\u00a0Eliel, and Obed, and Jasiel the Mesobaite.","title":"King James Version: 1 Chronicles: 1 Chronicles Chapter 11","type":"page"}
