These were the chiefs of David’s mighty warriors— they, together with all Israel, gave his kingship strong support to extend it over the whole land, as the Lord had promised—

The chiefs of David’s mighty warriors and the whole community of Israel helped David greatly. They helped him become king over the entire land. That’s exactly what the Lord had promised him.

Now these are the chiefs of David’s mighty men, who gave him strong support in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the Lord concerning Israel.

These are the leaders of David’s mighty warriors. Together with all Israel, they decided to make David their king, just as the Lord had promised concerning Israel.

The following were the chiefs of David’s warriors who, together with all Israel, strongly supported him in his reign to make him king according to the LORD’s word about Israel.

Now these are the heads of the mighty men whom David had, who remained faithful to him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, in accordance with the word of the Lord concerning Israel.

Now these were the heads 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.

Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of Jehovah concerning Israel.

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.

These were the leaders of David’s warriors who helped establish and stabilize his rule over all Israel, in accordance with the LORD’s word.

Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to Yahweh’s word concerning Israel.

So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron. David made a covenant with them at Hebron in the Lord’s presence, and they anointed David king over Israel, in keeping with the Lord’s word through Samuel.

The Lord said to Samuel,“ How long are you going to mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go. I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem because I have selected a king from his sons.”

So Jesse sent for him. He had beautiful eyes and a healthy, handsome appearance. Then the Lord said,“ Anoint him, for he is the one.”So Samuel took the horn of oil, anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and the Spirit of the Lord took control of David from that day forward. Then Samuel set out and went to Ramah.Now the Spirit of the Lord had left Saul, and an evil spirit sent from the Lord began to torment him,

All these warriors, lined up in battle formation, came to Hebron fully determined to make David king over all Israel. All the rest of Israel was also of one mind to make David king.

Abner conferred with the elders of Israel:“ In the past you wanted David to be king over you.Now take action, because the Lord has spoken concerning David:‘ Through My servant David I will save My people Israel from the power of the Philistines and the power of all Israel’s enemies.’”

Abner said to David,“ Let me now go and I will gather all Israel to my lord the king. They will make a covenant with you, and you will rule over all you desire.” So David dismissed Abner, and he went in peace.

These are the names of David’s warriors: Josheb-basshebeth the Tahchemonite was chief of the officers. He wielded his spear against 800 men that he killed at one time.After him, Eleazar son of Dodo son of an Ahohite was among the three warriors with David when they defied the Philistines. The men of Israel retreated in the place they had gathered for battle,but Eleazar stood his ground and attacked the Philistines until his hand was tired and stuck to his sword. The Lord brought about a great victory that day. Then the troops came back to him, but only to plunder the dead.After him was Shammah son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines had assembled in formation where there was a field full of lentils. The troops fled from the Philistines,but Shammah took his stand in the middle of the field, defended it, and struck down the Philistines. So the Lord brought about a great victory.Three of the 30 leading warriors went down at harvest time and came to David at the cave of Adullam, while a company of Philistines was camping in the Valley of Rephaim.At that time David was in the stronghold, and a Philistine garrison was at Bethlehem.David was extremely thirsty and said,“ If only someone would bring me water to drink from the well at the city gate of Bethlehem!”So three of the warriors broke through the Philistine camp and drew water from the well at the gate of Bethlehem. They brought it back to David, but he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out to the Lord.David said,“ Lord, I would never do such a thing! Is this not the blood of men who risked their lives?” So he refused to drink it. Such were the exploits of the three warriors.Abishai, Joab’s brother and son of Zeruiah, was leader of the Three. He raised his spear against 300 men and killed them, gaining a reputation among the Three.Was he not more honored than the Three? He became their commander even though he did not become one of the Three.Benaiah son of Jehoiada was the son of a brave man from Kabzeel, a man of many exploits. Benaiah killed two sons of Ariel of Moab, and he went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion.He also killed an Egyptian, a huge man. Even though the Egyptian had a spear in his hand, Benaiah went down to him with a club, snatched the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and then killed him with his own spear.These were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who had a reputation among the three warriors.He was the most honored of the Thirty, but he did not become one of the Three. David put him in charge of his bodyguard.Among the Thirty were: Joab’s brother Asahel, Elhanan son of Dodo of Bethlehem,Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite,Helez the Paltite, Ira son of Ikkesh the Tekoite,Abiezer the Anathothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite,Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite,Heleb son of Baanah the Netophahite, Ittai son of Ribai from Gibeah of the Benjaminites,Benaiah the Pirathonite, Hiddai from the wadis of Gaash,Abi-albon the Arbathite, Azmaveth the Barhumite,Eliahba the Shaalbonite, the sons of Jashen, Jonathan son ofShammah the Hararite, Ahiam son of Sharar the Hararite,Eliphelet son of Ahasbai son of the Maacathite, Eliam son of Ahithophel the Gilonite,Hezro the Carmelite, Paarai the Arbite,Igal son of Nathan from Zobah, Bani the Gadite,Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Beerothite, the armor-bearer for Joab son of Zeruiah,Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite,and Uriah the Hittite.
