A Novel of King David
David in 2 Samuel 23
(2 Samuel 23:1) And these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse
said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob,
and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said:
(2 Samuel 23:2) The Spirit of Jehovah spoke by me, and His Word was in my
tongue.
(2 Samuel 23:3) The God of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me: he who
rules over men justly, ruling in the fear of God,
(2 Samuel 23:4) is as the light of the morning, as the sun rises, a morning
without clouds. The tender grass springs out of the earth through shining after
rain.
(2 Samuel 23:5) Although my house is not so with God, yet He has made with me an
everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure. For all my salvation, and
all my desire, will He not make it grow?
(2 Samuel 23:6) But the wicked, all of them, shall be like a thorn thrust away,
because they cannot be taken by the hand.
(2 Samuel 23:7) But the man who shall touch them must be armed with iron and the
staff of a spear. And they shall be utterly burned in their place.
(2 Samuel 23:8) These are the names of the mighty men whom David had:
Josheb-basshebeth the Tachmonite, chief of the three; he was called Adino the
Eznite, because of the eight hundred he killed at one time.
(2 Samuel 23:9) And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of
the three mighty men with David when they defied the Philistines who were
gathered there to battle; and the men of Israel had gone up;
(2 Samuel 23:10) he arose and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary,
and until his hand clung to the sword. And Jehovah worked a great victory that
day. And the people returned after him only to spoil.
(2 Samuel 23:11) And next was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the
Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where there was a piece of
ground full of lentils. And the people fled from the Philistines.
(2 Samuel 23:12) But he stood in the middle of the ground and delivered it, and
killed the Philistines. And Jehovah worked a great victory.
(2 Samuel 23:13) And three of the thirty chief men went down and came to David
in the harvest time into the cave of Adullam. And the troop of the Philistines
pitched in the Valley of the Giants.
(2 Samuel 23:14) And David was then in a stronghold, and the fort of the
Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
(2 Samuel 23:15) And David longed and said, Oh that someone would give me a
drink from the water of the well of Bethlehem by the gate!
(2 Samuel 23:16) And the three mighty men broke through the army of the
Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem by the gate, and took
it, and brought it to David. But he would not drink of it, but poured it out to
Jehovah.
(2 Samuel 23:17) And he said, Be it far from me, O Jehovah, that I should do
this. Is it not the blood of the men who went in danger of their lives? And he
would not drink it. These three mighty men did these things.
(2 Samuel 23:18) And Abishai the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief
among three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them,
and had the name among three.
(2 Samuel 23:19) Surely he was honored more than the three. And he was their
commander. However he did not attain to the first three.
(2 Samuel 23:20) And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada from Kabzeel, a son of a mighty
man, great in deeds. He killed two lion-like men of Moab. He went down also and
killed a lion in the middle of a pit in time of snow.
(2 Samuel 23:21) And he killed an Egyptian, a man of form. And the Egyptian had
a spear in his hand, but he went down to him with a staff and plucked the spear
out of the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.
(2 Samuel 23:22) These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name
among three mighty ones.
(2 Samuel 23:23) He was more honorable than the thirty, but he did not attain to
the first three. And David set him over his guard.
(2 Samuel 23:24) Asahel the brother of Joab was of the thirty; Elhanan the son
of Dodo of Bethlehem;
(2 Samuel 23:25) Shammah the Harodite; Elika the Harodite;
(2 Samuel 23:26) Helez the Paltite; Ira the son of Ikkesh, the Tekoite;
(2 Samuel 23:27) Abiezer the Anathothite; Mebunnai the Hushathite;
(2 Samuel 23:28) Zalmon the Ahohite; Maharai the Netophathite;
(2 Samuel 23:29) Heleb the son of Baanah, a Netophathite; Ittai the son of Ribai
out of Gibeah, of the sons of Benjamin;
(2 Samuel 23:30) Benaiah the Pirathonite; Hiddai of the brooks of Gaash;
