KJV ¹ Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

WLC ¹ וַיִּקָּבְצ֧וּ כָֽל־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל אֶל־ דָּוִ֖יד חֶבְר֣וֹנָה לֵאמֹ֑ר הִנֵּ֛ה עַצְמְךָ֥ וּֽבְשָׂרְךָ֖ אֲנָֽחְנוּ׃

KJV ² And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel.

WLC ² גַּם־ תְּמ֣וֹל גַּם־ שִׁלְשׁ֗וֹם גַּ֚ם בִּהְי֣וֹת שָׁא֣וּל מֶ֔לֶךְ אַתָּ֛ה הַמּוֹצִ֥יא וְהַמֵּבִ֖יא אֶת־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיֹּאמֶר֩ יְהוָ֨ה אֱלֹהֶ֜יךָ לְךָ֗ אַתָּ֨ה תִרְעֶ֤ה אֶת־ עַמִּי֙ אֶת־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְאַתָּה֙ תִּהְיֶ֣ה נָגִ֔יד עַ֖ל עַמִּ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

KJV ³ Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel.

WLC ³ וַ֠יָּבֹאוּ כָּל־ זִקְנֵ֨י יִשְׂרָאֵ֤ל אֶל־ הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ חֶבְר֔וֹנָה וַיִּכְרֹת֩ לָהֶ֨ם דָּוִ֥יד בְּרִ֛ית בְּחֶבְר֖וֹן לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וַיִּמְשְׁח֨וּ אֶת־ דָּוִ֤יד לְמֶ֙לֶךְ֙ עַל־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל כִּדְבַ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה בְּיַד־ שְׁמוּאֵֽל׃

KJV ⁴ And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.

WLC ⁴ וַיֵּ֨לֶךְ דָּוִ֧יד וְכָל־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם הִ֣יא יְב֑וּס וְשָׁם֙ הַיְבוּסִ֔י יֹשְׁבֵ֖י הָאָֽרֶץ׃

KJV ⁵ And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which is the city of David.

WLC ⁵ וַיֹּ֨אמְר֜וּ יֹשְׁבֵ֤י יְבוּס֙ לְדָוִ֔יד לֹ֥א תָב֖וֹא הֵ֑נָּה וַיִּלְכֹּ֤ד דָּוִיד֙ אֶת־ מְצֻדַ֣ת צִיּ֔וֹן הִ֖יא עִ֥יר דָּוִֽיד׃

KJV ⁶ And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.

WLC ⁶ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר דָּוִ֔יד כָּל־ מַכֵּ֤ה יְבוּסִי֙ בָּרִ֣אשׁוֹנָ֔ה יִהְיֶ֥ה לְרֹ֖אשׁ וּלְשָׂ֑ר וַיַּ֧עַל בָּרִאשׁוֹנָ֛ה יוֹאָ֥ב בֶּן־ צְרוּיָ֖ה וַיְהִ֥י לְרֹֽאשׁ׃

KJV ⁷ And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of David.

WLC ⁷ וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב דָּוִ֖יד בַּמְצָ֑ד עַל־ כֵּ֥ן קָרְאוּ־ ל֖וֹ עִ֥יר דָּוִֽיד׃

KJV ⁸ And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

WLC ⁸ וַיִּ֤בֶן הָעִיר֙ מִסָּבִ֔יב מִן־ הַמִּלּ֖וֹא וְעַד־ הַסָּבִ֑יב וְיוֹאָ֕ב יְחַיֶּ֖ה אֶת־ שְׁאָ֥ר הָעִֽיר׃

KJV ⁹ So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts was with him.

WLC ⁹ וַיֵּ֥לֶךְ דָּוִ֖יד הָל֣וֹךְ וְגָד֑וֹל וַיהוָ֥ה צְבָא֖וֹת עִמּֽוֹ׃

KJV ¹⁰ These 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.

WLC ¹⁰ וְאֵ֨לֶּה רָאשֵׁ֤י הַגִּבּוֹרִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לְדָוִ֔יד הַמִּתְחַזְּקִ֨ים עִמּ֧וֹ בְמַלְכוּת֛וֹ עִם־ כָּל־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לְהַמְלִיכ֑וֹ כִּדְבַ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה עַל־ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

KJV ¹¹ And 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.

WLC ¹¹ וְאֵ֛לֶּה מִסְפַּ֥ר הַגִּבֹּרִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר לְדָוִ֑יד יָשָׁבְעָ֣ם בֶּן־ חַכְמוֹנִ֗י רֹ֚אשׁ הֽוּא־ עוֹרֵ֧ר אֶת־ חֲנִית֛וֹ עַל־ שְׁלֹשׁ־ מֵא֥וֹת חָלָ֖ל בְּפַ֥עַם אֶחָֽת׃

KJV ¹² And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties.

WLC ¹² וְאַחֲרָ֛יו אֶלְעָזָ֥ר בֶּן־ דּוֹד֖וֹ הָאֲחוֹחִ֑י ה֖וּא בִּשְׁלוֹשָׁ֥ה הַגִּבֹּרִֽים׃

KJV ¹³ He 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.

WLC ¹³ הֽוּא־ הָיָ֨ה עִם־ דָּוִ֜יד בַּפַּ֣ס דַּמִּ֗ים וְהַפְּלִשְׁתִּים֙ נֶאֱסְפוּ־ שָׁ֣ם לַמִּלְחָמָ֔ה וַתְּהִ֛י חֶלְקַ֥ת הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה מְלֵאָ֣ה שְׂעוֹרִ֑ים וְהָעָ֥ם נָ֖סוּ מִפְּנֵ֥י פְלִשְׁתִּֽים׃

KJV ¹⁴ And 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.

WLC ¹⁴ וַיִּֽתְיַצְּב֤וּ בְתוֹךְ־ הַחֶלְקָה֙ וַיַּצִּיל֔וּהָ וַיַּכּ֖וּ אֶת־ פְּלִשְׁתִּ֑ים וַיּ֥וֹשַׁע יְהוָ֖ה תְּשׁוּעָ֥ה גְדוֹלָֽה׃

KJV ¹⁵ Now 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.

WLC ¹⁵ וַיֵּרְד֡וּ שְֽׁלוֹשָׁה֩ מִן־ הַשְּׁלוֹשִׁ֨ים רֹ֤אשׁ עַל־ הַצֻּר֙ אֶל־ דָּוִ֔יד אֶל־ מְעָרַ֖ת עֲדֻלָּ֑ם וּמַחֲנֵ֣ה פְלִשְׁתִּ֔ים חֹנָ֖ה בְּעֵ֥מֶק רְפָאִֽים׃

KJV ¹⁶ And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem.

WLC ¹⁶ וְדָוִ֖יד אָ֣ז בַּמְּצוּדָ֑ה וּנְצִ֣יב פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים אָ֖ז בְּבֵ֥ית לָֽחֶם׃

KJV ¹⁷ And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, that is at the gate!

WLC ¹⁷ דָּוִ֖יד וַיֹּאמַ֑ר מִ֚י יַשְׁקֵ֣נִי מַ֔יִם מִבּ֥וֹר בֵּֽית־ לֶ֖חֶם אֲשֶׁ֥ר בַּשָּֽׁעַר׃

KJV ¹⁸ And 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.

WLC ¹⁸ וַיִּבְקְע֨וּ הַשְּׁלֹשָׁ֜ה בְּמַחֲנֵ֣ה פְלִשְׁתִּ֗ים וַיִּֽשְׁאֲבוּ־ מַ֙יִם֙ מִבּ֤וֹר בֵּֽית־ לֶ֙חֶם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בַּשַּׁ֔עַר וַיִּשְׂא֖וּ וַיָּבִ֣אוּ אֶל־ דָּוִ֑יד וְלֹֽא־ אָבָ֤ה דָוִיד֙ לִשְׁתּוֹתָ֔ם וַיְנַסֵּ֥ךְ אֹתָ֖ם לַיהוָֽה׃

KJV ¹⁹ And 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.

WLC ¹⁹ וַיֹּ֡אמֶר חָלִילָה֩ לִּ֨י מֵאֱלֹהַ֜י מֵעֲשׂ֣וֹת זֹ֗את הֲדַ֣ם הָאֲנָשִׁים֩ הָאֵ֨לֶּה אֶשְׁתֶּ֤ה בְנַפְשׁוֹתָם֙ כִּ֣י בְנַפְשׁוֹתָ֣ם הֱבִיא֔וּם וְלֹ֥א אָבָ֖ה לִשְׁתּוֹתָ֑ם אֵ֣לֶּה עָשׂ֔וּ שְׁלֹ֖שֶׁת הַגִּבּוֹרִֽים׃

KJV ²⁰ And 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.

WLC ²⁰ וְאַבְשַׁ֣י אֲחִֽי־ יוֹאָ֗ב ה֤וּא הָיָה֙ רֹ֣אשׁ הַשְּׁלוֹשָׁ֔ה וְהוּא֙ עוֹרֵ֣ר אֶת־ חֲנִית֔וֹ עַל־ שְׁלֹ֥שׁ מֵא֖וֹת חָלָ֑ל שֵׁ֖ם בַּשְּׁלוֹשָֽׁה׃

KJV ²¹ Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was their captain: howbeit he attained not to the first three.

WLC ²¹ מִן־ הַשְּׁלוֹשָׁ֤ה בַשְּׁנַ֙יִם֙ נִכְבָּ֔ד וַיְהִ֥י לָהֶ֖ם לְשָׂ֑ר וְעַד־ הַשְּׁלוֹשָׁ֖ה לֹֽא־ בָֽא׃

KJV ²² Benaiah 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.

WLC ²² בְּנָיָ֨ה בֶן־ יְהוֹיָדָ֧ע בֶּן־ אִֽישׁ־ חַ֛יִל רַב־ פְּעָלִ֖ים מִֽן־ קַבְצְאֵ֑ל ה֣וּא הִכָּ֗ה אֵ֣ת שְׁנֵ֤י אֲרִיאֵל֙ מוֹאָ֔ב וְ֠הוּא יָרַ֞ד וְהִכָּ֧ה אֶֽת־ הָאֲרִ֛י בְּת֥וֹךְ הַבּ֖וֹר בְּי֥וֹם הַשָּֽׁלֶג׃

KJV ²³ And 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.

WLC ²³ וְהֽוּא־ הִכָּה֩ אֶת־ הָאִ֨ישׁ הַמִּצְרִ֜י אִ֥ישׁ מִדָּ֣ה ׀ חָמֵ֣שׁ בָּאַמָּ֗ה וּבְיַ֨ד הַמִּצְרִ֤י חֲנִית֙ כִּמְנ֣וֹר אֹרְגִ֔ים וַיֵּ֥רֶד אֵלָ֖יו בַּשָּׁ֑בֶט וַיִּגְזֹ֤ל אֶֽת־ הַחֲנִית֙ מִיַּ֣ד הַמִּצְרִ֔י וַיַּהַרְגֵ֖הוּ בַּחֲנִיתֽוֹ׃

KJV ²⁴ These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among the three mighties.

WLC ²⁴ אֵ֣לֶּה עָשָׂ֔ה בְּנָיָ֖הוּ בֶּן־ יְהוֹיָדָ֑ע וְלוֹ־ שֵׁ֖ם בִּשְׁלוֹשָׁ֥ה הַגִּבֹּרִֽים׃

KJV ²⁵ Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but attained not to the first three: and David set him over his guard.

WLC ²⁵ מִן־ הַשְּׁלוֹשִׁ֗ים הִנּ֤וֹ נִכְבָּד֙ ה֔וּא וְאֶל־ הַשְּׁלוֹשָׁ֖ה לֹא־ בָ֑א וַיְשִׂימֵ֥הוּ דָוִ֖יד עַל־ מִשְׁמַעְתּֽוֹ׃

KJV ²⁶ Also the valiant men of the armies were, Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

WLC ²⁶ וְגִבּוֹרֵ֖י הַחֲיָלִ֑ים עֲשָׂה־ אֵל֙ אֲחִ֣י יוֹאָ֔ב אֶלְחָנָ֥ן בֶּן־ דּוֹד֖וֹ מִבֵּ֥ית לָֽחֶם׃
