Settings

23:1Now these are the last words of David: The declaration of David the son of Jesse, / And the declaration of the man who has been raised up on high, / The anointed of the God of Jacob, / The one lovely in the psalms of Israel. Compare
23:2The Spirit of Jehovah spoke through me, / And His word was on my tongue. Compare
23:3The God of Israel spoke, / The Rock of Israel spoke to me, / Who rules among men righteously, / Who rules with the fear of God. Compare
23:4And is like the light of the morning when the sun rises, / A morning without clouds, / As when the tender grass sprouts up from the earth / At the sun's shining after a rain. Compare
23:5For is not my house so with God? / For He has made an eternal covenant with me, / Ordered in all things and secure. / For all my salvation and all my desire, / Will He not indeed make them grow? Compare
23:6But the wicked, all of them, will be / Like thorns to be thrust away, / Because they cannot be taken with the hand. Compare
23:7But the man who touches them / Must arm himself with an iron rod or with the shaft of a spear; / And they will be burned with fire in their place. Compare
23:8These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshebeth a Tahchemonite; he was the chief of the captains; the same is Adino the Eznite, who fought against eight hundred, who were slain at one time. Compare
23:9After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the son of an Ahohite, one among the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there for battle, and the men of Israel went away. Compare
23:10He rose up and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary; and his hand clung to the sword, and Jehovah accomplished a great salvation that day; and the people returned after him, but only to strip the slain. Compare
23:11And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. Now the Philistines were gathered into a troop where there was a plot of land full of lentils, and the people fled before the Philistines. Compare
23:12But he stationed himself in the midst of the plot and defended it and struck the Philistines, and Jehovah accomplished a great salvation. Compare
23:13Now three of the thirty chief men went down and came to David at harvest time in the cave of Adullam; and the Philistine troop was encamped in the valley of Rephaim. Compare
23:14Now at that time David was in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was at that time in Bethlehem. Compare
23:15And David said longingly, If only someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem that is by the gate! Compare
23:16And the three mighty men burst through the camp of the Philistines and drew water from the well of Bethlehem that is by the gate. And they carried it and brought it to David, but he would not drink it; rather he poured it out to Jehovah. Compare
23:17And he said, Far be it from me, O Jehovah, that I should do this! Shall I drink the blood of the men who went at the risk of their lives? Therefore he would not drink it. These things the three mighty men did. Compare
23:18And Abishai the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the three. And he brandished his spear against three hundred, who were slain; and he had a name among the three. Compare
23:19He was indeed the most honored among the thirty, and he became their leader; but he did not attain to the three. Compare
23:20And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man from Kabzeel, was great in mighty deeds. He struck the two sons of Ariel the Moabite; he also went down and struck a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day. Compare
23:21And he struck an Egyptian, an imposing man. And the Egyptian had a spear in his hand, but he went down to him with a staff and snatched the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian and slew him with his own spear. Compare
23:22These things Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did, and he had a name among the three mighty men. Compare
23:23He was more honored than the thirty, but he did not attain to the three. And David set him over his bodyguard. Compare
