2 Samuel 23 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

David's Last Song

2Sa 23:1Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Yishai says, The man who was raised on high says, The anointed of the God of Ya`akov, The sweet psalmist of Yisra'el:

2Sa 23:2

2Sa 23:2The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me, His word was on my tongue.

2Sa 23:3

2Sa 23:3The God of Yisra'el said, The Rock of Yisra'el spoke to me: One who rules over men righteously, Who rules in the fear of God,

2Sa 23:4

2Sa 23:4He shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises, A morning without clouds, When the tender grass springs out of the eretz, Through clear shining after rain.

2Sa 23:5

2Sa 23:5Most assuredly my house is not so with God; Yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, Ordered in all things, and sure: For it is all my salvation, and all my desire, Although he doesn't make it grow.

2Sa 23:6

2Sa 23:6But the ungodly shall be all of them as thorns to be thrust away, Because they can't be taken with the hand

2Sa 23:7

2Sa 23:7But the man who touches them Must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear: They shall be utterly burned with fire in their place

His Mighty Men

(1Ch 11:10–47 )

2Sa 23:8

2Sa 23:8These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Yoshev-Bashshevet a Tachkemonite, chief of the captains; the same was `Adino the Etznite, against eight hundred slain at one time.

2Sa 23:9

2Sa 23:9After him was El`azar the son of Dodo the son of an Achochi, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Pelishtim who were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Yisra'el were gone away.

2Sa 23:10

2Sa 23:10He arose, and struck the Pelishtim until his hand was weary, and his hand froze to the sword; and the LORD worked a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take spoil.

2Sa 23:11

2Sa 23:11After him was Shammah the son of Agee a Harari. The Pelishtim were gathered together into a troop, where was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Pelishtim.

2Sa 23:12

2Sa 23:12But he stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed the Pelishtim; and the LORD worked a great victory.

2Sa 23:13

2Sa 23:13Three of the thirty chief men went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of `Adullam; and the troop of the Pelishtim was encamped in the valley of Refa'im.

2Sa 23:14

2Sa 23:14David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Pelishtim was then in Beit-Lechem.

2Sa 23:15

2Sa 23:15David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Beit-Lechem, which is by the gate!

2Sa 23:16

2Sa 23:16The three mighty men broke through the host of the Pelishtim, and drew water out of the well of Beit-Lechem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but he would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD.

2Sa 23:17

2Sa 23:17He said, Be it far from me, LORD, that I should do this: shall I drink the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.

2Sa 23:18

2Sa 23:18Avishai, the brother of Yo'av, the son of Tzeru'yah, was chief of the three. He lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name among the three.

2Sa 23:19

2Sa 23:19Wasn't he most honorable of the three? therefore he was made their captain: however he didn't attain to the first three.

2Sa 23:20

2Sa 23:20Benayah the son of Yehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kavtz'el, who had done mighty deeds, he killed the two sons of Ari'el of Mo'av: he went down also and killed a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.

2Sa 23:21

2Sa 23:21He killed a Mitzrian, a goodly man: and the Mitzrian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Mitzrian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.

2Sa 23:22

2Sa 23:22These things did Benayah the son of Yehoiada, and had a name among the three mighty men.

2Sa 23:23

2Sa 23:23He was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn't attain to the first three. David set him over his guard.

2Sa 23:24
