| 2 | Yesterday also, and the day before when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: for the Lord thy God said to thee: Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt; be ruler over them. | In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. And the LORD your God said to you, ‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over my people Israel.’” | In the past, even while Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel on their military campaigns. And the LORD your God said to you, ‘You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become their ruler.’” | |
| 3 | So all the ancients of Israel came to the king to Hebron, and David made a covenant with them before the Lord: and they anointed him king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke in the hand of Samuel. | So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD. And they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel. | When all the elders of Israel had come to King David at Hebron, he made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD, and they anointed David king over Israel, as the LORD had promised through Samuel. | |
| 4 | And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus, where the Jebusites were the inhabitants of the land. | And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, that is, Jebus, where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land. | David and all the Israelites marched to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus).

| 5 | And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David: Thou shalt not come in here. But David took the castle of Sion, which is the city of David. | The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will not come in here.” Nevertheless, David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David. | said to David, “You will not get in here.” Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion—which is the City of David. | |
| 6 | And he said: Whosoever shall first strike the Jebusites, shall be the head and chief captain. And Joab the son of Sarvia went up first, and was made the general. | David said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and commander.” And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief. | David had said, “Whoever leads the attack on the Jebusites will become commander-in-chief.” Joab son of Zeruiah went up first, and so he received the command. | |
| 7 | And David dwelt in the castle, and therefore it was called the city of David. | And David lived in the stronghold; therefore it was called the city of David. | David then took up residence in the fortress, and so it was called the City of David. | |
| 8 | And he built the city round about from Mello all round, and Joab built the rest of the city. | And he built the city all around from the Millo in complete circuit, and Joab repaired the rest of the city. | He built up the city around it, from the terraces to the surrounding wall, while Joab restored the rest of the city. | |
| 9 | And David went on growing and increasing, and the Lord of hosts was with him. | And David became greater and greater, for the LORD of hosts was with him. | And David became more and more powerful, because the LORD Almighty was with him. | |
| 10 | These are the chief of the valiant men of David, who helped him to be made king over all Israel, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Israel. | 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 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— | |
| 11 | And this is the number of the heroes of David: Jesbaam the son of Hachamoni the chief among the thirty: he lifted up his spear against three hundred wounded by him at one time. | This is an account of David’s mighty men: Jashobeam, a Hachmonite, was chief of the three. He wielded his spear against 300 whom he killed at one time. | this is the list of David’s mighty warriors: Jashobeam, a Hakmonite, was chief of the officers; he raised his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed in one encounter. | |
| 12 | And after him was Eleazar his uncle's son the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties. | And next to him among the three mighty men was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite. | Next to him was Eleazar son of Dodai the Ahohite, one of the three mighty warriors. | |

| 14 | But these men stood in the midst of the field, and defended it: and they slew the Philistines, and the Lord gave a great deliverance to his people. | But he took his stand in the midst of the plot and defended it and killed the Philistines. And the LORD saved them by a great victory. | But they took their stand in the middle of the field. They defended it and struck the Philistines down, and the LORD brought about a great victory. | |
| 15 | And three of the thirty captains went down to the rock, wherein David was, to the cave of Odollam, when the Philistines encamped in the valley of Raphaim. | Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David at the cave of Adullam, when the army of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim. | Three of the thirty chiefs came down to David to the rock at the cave of Adullam, while a band of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim. | |
| 16 | And David was in a hold, and the garrison of the Philistines in Bethlehem. | David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then at Bethlehem. | At that time David was in the stronghold, and the Philistine garrison was at Bethlehem. | |
| 17 | And David longed, and said: O that some man would give me water of the cistern of Bethlehem, which is in the gate. | And David said longingly, “Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem that is by the gate!” | David longed for water and said, “Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!” | |
| 18 | And these three broke through the midst of the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the cistern of Bethlehem, which was in the gate, and brought it to David to drink: and he would not drink of it, but rather offered it to the Lord, | Then the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate and took it and brought it to David. But David would not drink it. He poured it out to the LORD | So the Three broke through the Philistine lines, drew water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem and carried it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out to the LORD. | |
| 19 | Saying: God forbid that I should do this in the sight of my God, and should drink the blood of these men: for with the danger of their lives they have brought me the water. And therefore he would not drink. These things did the three most valiant. | and said, “Far be it from me before my God that I should do this. Shall I drink the lifeblood of these men? For at the risk of their lives they brought it.” Therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men. | “God forbid that I should do this!” he said. “Should I drink the blood of these men who went at the risk of their lives?” Because they risked their lives to bring it back, David would not drink it. Such were the exploits of the three mighty warriors. | |
