1 And these the last words of David. The declaration of David, son of Jesse, and the declaration of the man raised up for the Messiah of the God of Jacob, and the sweet songs of Israel. 2 The Spirit of Jehovah spake in me, and his word upon my tongue. 3 The God of Israel said to me, the Rock of Israel spake a parable upon the just man: a parable to fear God. 4 And as the light of the morning the sun will rise: the morning not dense; from the shining of the rain bringing forth herbage from the earth. 5 For not thus my house with the Strong One, for he set to me an eternal covenant, prepared in all, and watched: for all my salvation and delight will he not bring forth. 6 And Belial as the thorn thrusting out are all they, for they will not be taken by the hand. 7 And the man laboring in them shall be filled with iron and the wood of a spear; and in fire burning they shall burn in the dwelling. 8 These the names of the mighty, which were to David: the Tachmonite dwelling in the dwelling, head of the third; he Adino the Eznite: against eight hundred wounded at one time. 9 And after him Eleazar son of Dodo, son of Ahohi, among the three mighty with David in their upbraiding the rovers; they were gathered together there to war, and the men of Israel will go up. 10 He arose, and he will strike against the rovers till that his hand will be weary, and his hand will cleave to the sword: and Jehovah will do a great salvation in that day; and they sat down behind him only to strip off. 2 Samuel 23:1-10, Smith's Literal Translation.
