1 Chronicles 11

1 Καὶ ἦλθε πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Δαυὶδ ἐν Χεβρὼν, λέγοντες, ἰδοὺ ὀστᾶ σου καὶ σάρκες σου ἡμεῖς,

2 καὶ ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην ὄντος Σαοὺλ βασιλέως, σὺ ἦσθα ὁ ἐξάγων καὶ εἰσάγων τὸν Ἰσραήλ· καὶ εἶπεν Ἰσραὴλ Κύριός σοι, σὺ ποιμανεῖς τὸν λαόν μου τὸν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ σὺ ἔσῃ εἰς ἡγούμενον ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ.

3 Καὶ ἦλθον πάντες πρεσβύτεροι Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα εἰς Χεβρών· καὶ διέθετο αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ διαθήκην ἐν Χεβρὼν ἔναντι Κυρίου· καὶ ἔχρισαν τὸν Δαυὶδ εἰς βασιλέα ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ κατὰ τὸν λόγον Κυρίου διὰ χειρὸς Σαμουήλ.

4 Καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ, αὕτη Ἰεβοὺς, καὶ ἐκεῖ οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν γῆν εἶπον τῷ Δανιδ, οὐκ εἰσελεύση ὧδε·

5 καὶ προκατελάβετο τὴν περιοχὴν Σιών· αὕτη ἡ πόλις Δαυίδ.

6 Καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ, πᾶς τύπτων Ἰεβουσαῖον ἐν πρώτοις, καὶ ἔσται εἰς ἄρχοντα καὶ εἰς στρατηγόν· καὶ ἀνέβη ἐπʼ αὐτὴν ἐν πρώτοις Ἰωὰβ υἱὸς Σαρουία, καὶ ἐγένετο εἰς ἄρχοντα.

7 Καὶ ἐκάθισε Δαυὶδ ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὴν πόλιν Δαυίδ.

8 Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν πόλιν κύκλῳ.

9 Καὶ ἐπορεύετο Δαυὶδ πορευόμενος καὶ μεγαλυνόμενος, καὶ Κύριος παντοκράτωρ μετʼ αὐτοῦ.

10 καὶ οὗτοι οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν δυνατῶν, οἳ ἦσαν τῷ Δαυὶδ, οἱ κατισχύοντες μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ μετὰ παντὸς Ἰσραὴλ, τοῦ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτὸν κατὰ τὸν λόγον Κυρίου ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ.

11 Καὶ οὗτος ὁ ἀριθμὸς τῶν δυνατῶν τοῦ Δαυίδ· Ἰεσεβαδὰ υἱὸς ʼΑχαμὰν πρῶτος τῶν τριάκοντα· οὗτος ἐσπάσατο τὴν ῥομφαίαν αὐτοῦ ἅπαξ ἐπὶ τριακοσίους τραυματίας ἐν καιρῷ ἑνί.

12 Καὶ μετʼ αὐτὸν Ἐλεάζαρ υἱὸς Δωδαῒ ὁ Ἀχωχί· οὗτος ἦν ἐν τοῖς τρισὶ δυνατοῖς.

13 Οὗτος ἦν μετὰ Δαυὶδ ἐν Φασσδαμὶν, καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι συνήχθησαν ἐκεῖ εἰς πόλεμον, καὶ ἦν μερὶς τοῦ ἀγροῦ πλήρης κριθῶν, καὶ ὁ λαὸς ἔφυγεν ἀπὸ προσώπου ἀλλοφύλων.

14 Καὶ ἔστη ἐν μέσῳ τῆς μερίδος, καὶ ἔσωσεν αὐτὴν, καὶ ἐπάταξε τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους, καὶ ἐποίησε Κύριος σωτηρίαν μεγάλην.

15 Καὶ κατέβησαν τρεῖς ἐκ τῶν τριάκοντα ἀρχόντων εἰς τὴν πέτραν πρὸς Δαυὶδ εἰς τὸ σπήλαιον Ὀδολλὰμ, καὶ παρεμβολὴ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι τῶν γιγάντων.

16 Καὶ Δαυὶδ τότε ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ, καὶ τὸ σύστημα τῶν ἀλλοφύλων τότε ἐν Βηθλεέμ.

17 Καὶ ἐπεθύμησε Δαυὶδ, καὶ εἶπε, τίς ποτιεῖ με ὕδωρ ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου Βηθλεὲμ τοῦ ἐν τῇ πύλῃ;

18 Καὶ διέῤῥηξαν οἱ τρεῖς τὴν παρεμβολὴν τῶν ἀλλοφύλων· καὶ ὑδρεύσαντο ὕδωρ ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου τοῦ ἐν Βηθλεὲμ, ὃς ἦν ἐν τῇ πύλῃ, καὶ ἔλαβον καὶ ἤλθον πρὸς Δαυίδ· καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησε Δαυὶδ τοῦ πιεῖν αὐτὸ, καὶ ἔσπεισεν αὐτὸ τῷ Κυρίῳ,

19 καὶ εἶπεν, ἵλεώς μοι ὁ θεὸς τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο· εἰ αἷμα ἀνδρῶν τούτων πίομαι ἐν ψυχαῖς αὐτῶν; ὅτι ἐν ψυχαῖς αὐτῶν ἤνεγκαν· καὶ οὐκ ἐβούλετο πιεῖν αὐτό· ταῦτα ἐποίησαν οἱ τρεῖς δυνατοί.

20 Καὶ Ἀβισὰ ἀδελφὸς Ἰωὰβ, οὗτος ἦν ἄρχων τῶν τριῶν· οὗτος ἐσπάσατο τὴν ῥομφαίαν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τριακοσίους τραυματίας ἐν καιρῷ ἑνὶ, καὶ οὗτος ἦν ὀνομαστὸς ἐν τοῖς τρισίν.

21 Ἀπὸ τῶν τριῶν ὑπὲρ τοὺς δύο ἔνδοξος, καὶ ἦν αὐτοῖς εἰς ἄρχοντα, καὶ ἕως τῶν τριῶν οὐκ ἤρχετο.

22 Καὶ Βαναία υἱὸς Ἰωδαὲ υἱὸς ἄνδρος δυνατοῦ, πολλὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ὑπὲρ Καβασαήλ· οὗτος ἐπάταξε τοὺς δύο ἀριὴλ Μωὰβ, καὶ οὗτος κατέβη καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν λέοντα ἐν τῷ λάκκῳ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ χιόνος.

23 Καὶ οὗτος ἐπάταξε τὸν ἄνδρα τὸν Αἰγύπτιον, ἄνδρα ὁρατὸν πεντάπηχυν, καὶ ἐν χειρὶ τοῦ Αἰγυπτίου δόρυ ὡς ἀντίον ὑφαινόντων· καὶ κατέβη ἐπʼ αὐτὸν Βαναία ἐν ῥάβδῳ, καὶ ἀφείλατο ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ Αἰγυπτίου τὸ δόρυ, καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ δόρατι αὐτοῦ.

24 Ταῦτα ἐποίησε Βαναία υἱὸς Ἰωδαὲ, καὶ τούτῳ ὄνομα ἐν τοῖς τρισὶ τοῖς δυνατοῖς. Ὑπὲρ τοὺς τριάκοντα ἦν ἔνδοξος οὗτος, καὶ πρὸς τοὺς τρεῖς οὐκ ἤρχετο· καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτὸν Δαυὶδ ἐπὶ τὴν πατριὰν αὐτοῦ.

25 Ὑπὲρ τοὺς τριάκοντα ἦν ἔνδοξος οὗτος, καὶ πρὸς τοὺς τρεῖς οὐκ ἤρχετο· καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτὸν Δαυεὶδ ἐπὶ τὴν πατριὰν αὐτοῦ.

26 Καὶ δυνατοὶ τῶν δυνάμεων, Ἀσαὴλ ἀδελφὸς Ἰωὰβ, Ἐλεανὰν υἱὸς Δωδωὲ ἐκ Βηθλεὲμ,

27 Σαμαὼθ ὁ ʼΑρωρὶ, Χελλὴς ὁ Φελωνὶ,

1 And all Israel came to David in Chebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bones and thy flesh.

2 And heretofore when Saul was king, thou wast he that led Israel in and out, and the Lord of Israel said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be for a ruler over Israel.

3 And all the elders of Israel came to the king to Chebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Chebron before the Lord: and they anointed David to be king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord by Samuel.

4 And the king and his men went to Jerusalem, this is Jebus; and there the Jebusites the inhabitants of the land said to David,

5 Thou shalt not enter in hither. But he took the strong hold of Sion: this is the city of David.

6 And David said, Whoever first smites the Jebusite, even he shall be chief and captain. And Joab the son of Saruia went up first, and became chief.

7 And David dwelt in the strong hold; therefore he called it the city of David.

8 And he fortified the city round about.

9 And David continued to increase, and the Lord Almighty was with him.

10 And these are the chiefs of the mighty men, whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the Lord concerning Israel.

11 And this is the list of the mighty men of David; Jesebada, son of Achaman, first of the thirty: he drew his sword once against three hundred whom he slew at one time.

12 And after him Eleazar son of Dodai, the Achochite: he was among the three mighty men.

13 He was with David in Phasodamin, and the Philistines were gathered there to battle, and there was a portion of the field full of barley; and the people fled before the Philistines.

14 And he stood in the midst of the portion, and rescued it, and smote the Philistines; and the Lord wrought a great deliverance.

15 And three of the thirty chiefs went down to the rock to David, to the cave of Odollam, and the camp of the Philistines was in the giants' valley.

16 And David was then in the hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethleem.

17 And David longed, and said, Who will give me water to drink of the well of Bethleem, that is in the gate?

18 And the three broke through the camp of the Philistines, and they drew water out of the well that was in Bethleem, which was in the gate, and they took it, and came to David: but David would not drink it, and poured it out to the Lord, and said,

19 God forbid that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men with their lives? for with the peril of their lives they brought it. So he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men .

20 And Abisa the brother of Joab, he was chief of three: he drew his sword against three hundred slain at one time, and he had a name among the second three.

21 He was more famous than the two others of the three, and he was chief over them; yet he reached not to the first three.

22 And Banaia the son of Jodae was the son of a mighty man: many were his acts for Cabasael: he smote two lion-like men of Moab, and he went down and smote a lion in a pit on a snowy day.

23 And he smote an Egyptian, a wonderful man five cubits high ; and in the hand of the Egyptian there was a spear like a weavers' beam; and Banaia went down to him with a staff, and took the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.

24 These things did Banaia son of Jodae, and his name was among the three mighties.

25 He was distinguished beyond the thirty, yet he reached not to the first three: and David set him over his family.

26 And the mighty men of the forces were , Asael the brother of Joab, Eleanan the son of Dodoe of Bethleem,

27 Samaoth the Arorite, Chelles the Phelonite,

28 Ora the son of Ekkis the Thecoite, Abiezer the Anathothite,

46 Eliel the Maoite, and Jaribi, and Josia his son, Ellaam, and Jethama the Moabite,
