I Paralipomenon 11-12
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
11 Congregatus est igitur omnis Israel ad David in Hebron, dicens: Os tuum sumus, et caro tua.
2 Heri quoque et nudiustertius cum adhuc regnaret Saul, tu eras qui educebas et introducebas Israel: tibi enim dixit Dominus Deus tuus: Tu pasces populum meum Israel, et tu eris princeps super eum.
3 Venerunt ergo omnes majores natu Israel ad regem in Hebron, et iniit David cum eis foedus coram Domino: unxeruntque eum regem super Israel, juxta sermonem Domini quem locutus est in manu Samuel.
4 Abiit quoque David et omnis Israel in Jerusalem: haec est Jebus, ubi erant Jebusaei habitatores terrae.
5 Dixeruntque qui habitabant in Jebus ad David: Non ingredieris huc. Porro David cepit arcem Sion, quae est civitas David,
6 dixitque: Omnis qui percusserit Jebusaeum in primis, erit princeps et dux. Ascendit igitur primus Joab filius Sarviae, et factus est princeps.
7 Habitavit autem David in arce, et idcirco appellata est civitas David.
8 AEdificavitque urbem in circuitu a Mello usque ad gyrum; Joab autem reliqua urbis exstruxit.
9 Proficiebatque David vadens et crescens, et Dominus exercituum erat cum eo.
10 Hi principes virorum fortium David, qui adjuverunt eum ut rex fieret super omnem Israel, juxta verbum Domini quod locutus est ad Israel.
11 Et iste numerus robustorum David: Jesbaam filius Hachamoni princeps inter triginta: iste levavit hastam suam super trecentos vulneratos una vice.
12 Et post eum Eleazar filius patrui ejus Ahohites, qui erat inter tres potentes.
13 Iste fuit cum David in Phesdomim, quando Philisthiim congregati sunt ad locum illum in praelium: et erat ager regionis illius plenus hordeo, fugeratque populus a facie Philisthinorum.
14 Hi steterunt in medio agri, et defenderunt eum: cumque percussissent Philisthaeos, dedit Dominus salutem magnam populo suo.
15 Descenderunt autem tres de triginta principibus ad petram, in qua erat David, ad speluncam Odollam, quando Philisthiim fuerant castrametati in valle Raphaim.
16 Porro David erat in praesidio, et statio Philisthinorum in Bethlehem.
17 Desideravit igitur David, et dixit: O si quis daret mihi aquam de cisterna Bethlehem, quae est in porta!
18 Tres ergo isti per media castra Philisthinorum perrexerunt, et hauserunt aquam de cisterna Bethlehem quae erat in porta, et attulerunt ad David ut biberet. Qui noluit, sed magis libavit illam Domino,
19 dicens: Absit ut in conspectu Dei mei hoc faciam, et sanguinem istorum virorum bibam: quia in periculo animarum suarum attulerunt mihi aquam. Et ob hanc causam noluit bibere: haec fecerunt tres robustissimi.
20 Abisai quoque frater Joab ipse erat princeps trium, et ipse levavit hastam suam contra trecentos vulneratos, et ipse erat inter tres nominatissimus,
21 et inter tres secundos inclytus, et princeps eorum: verumtamen usque ad tres primos non pervenerat.
22 Banaias filius Jojadae viri robustissimi, qui multa opera perpetrarat, de Cabseel: ipse percussit duos ariel Moab, et ipse descendit et interfecit leonem in media cisterna tempore nivis.
23 Et ipse percussit virum aegyptium, cujus statura erat quinque cubitorum, et habebat lanceam ut liciatorium texentium: descendit igitur ad eum cum virga, et rapuit hastam quam tenebat manu, et interfecit eum hasta sua.
24 Haec fecit Banaias filius Jojadae, qui erat inter tres robustos nominatissimus,
25 inter triginta primus, verumtamen ad tres usque non pervenerat: posuit autem eum David ad auriculam suam.
26 Porro fortissimi viri in exercitu, Asahel frater Joab, et Elchanan filius patrui ejus de Bethlehem,
27 Sammoth Arorites, Helles Pharonites,
28 Ira filius Acces Thecuites, Abiezer Anathothites,
29 Sobbochai Husathites, Ilai Ahohites,
30 Maharai Netophathites, Heled filius Baana Netophathites,
31 Ethai filius Ribai de Gabaath filiorum Benjamin, Banaia Pharatonites,
32 Hurai de torrente Gaas, Abiel Arbathites, Azmoth Bauramites, Eliaba Salabonites.
33 Filii Assem Gezonites, Jonathan filius Sage Ararites,
34 Ahiam filius Sachar Ararites,
35 Eliphal filius Ur,
36 Hepher Mecherathites, Ahia Phelonites,
37 Hesro Carmelites, Naarai filius Asbai,
38 Joel frater Nathan, Mibahar filius Agarai,
39 Selec Ammonites, Naharai Berothites armiger Joab filii Sarviae,
40 Ira Jethraeus, Gareb Jethraeus,
41 Urias Hethaeus, Zabad filius Oholi,
42 Adina filius Siza Rubenites princeps Rubenitarum, et cum eo triginta:
43 Hanan filius Maacha, et Josaphat Mathanites,
44 Ozia Astarothites, Samma, et Jehiel filii Hotham Arorites,
45 Jedihel filius Samri, et Joha frater ejus Thosaites,
46 Eliel Mahumites, et Jeribai, et Josaia filii Elnaem, et Jethma Moabites, Eliel, et Obed, et Jasiel de Masobia.
12 Hi quoque venerunt ad David in Siceleg, cum adhuc fugeret Saul filium Cis, qui erant fortissimi et egregii pugnatores,
2 tendentes arcum, et utraque manu fundis saxa jacientes, et dirigentes sagittas, de fratribus Saul ex Benjamin.
3 Princeps Ahiecer, et Joas filii Samaa Gabaathites, et Jaziel, et Phallet filii Azmoth, et Baracha, et Jehu Anathotites.
4 Samaias quoque Gabaonites fortissimus inter triginta et super triginta. Jeremias, et Jeheziel, et Johanan, et Jezabad Gaderothites.
5 Et Eluzai, et Jerimuth, et Baalia, et Samaria, et Saphatia Haruphites.
6 Elcana, et Jesia, et Azareel, et Joezer, et Jesbaam de Carehim:
7 Joela quoque, et Zabadia filii Jeroham de Gedor.
8 Sed et de Gaddi transfugerunt ad David cum lateret in deserto, viri robustissimi, et pugnatores optimi, tenentes clypeum et hastam: facies eorum quasi facies leonis, et veloces quasi capreae in montibus:
9 Ezer princeps, Obdias secundus, Eliab tertius,
10 Masmana quartus, Jeremias quintus,
11 Ethi sextus, Eliel septimus,
12 Johanan octavus, Elzebad nonus,
13 Jeremias decimus, Machbanai undecimus.
14 Hi de filiis Gad principes exercitus: novissimus centum militibus praeerat, et maximus mille.
15 Isti sunt qui transierunt Jordanem mense primo, quando inundare consuevit super ripas suas: et omnes fugaverunt qui morabantur in vallibus ad orientalem plagam et occidentalem.
16 Venerunt autem et de Benjamin et de Juda ad praesidium in quo morabatur David.
17 Egressusque est David obviam eis, et ait: Si pacifice venistis ad me ut auxiliemini mihi, cor meum jungatur vobis: si autem insidiamini mihi pro adversariis meis, cum ego iniquitatem in manibus non habeam, videat Deus patrum nostrorum, et judicet.
18 Spiritus vero induit Amasai principem inter triginta, et ait: Tui sumus, o David, et tecum, fili Isai. Pax, pax tibi, et pax adjutoribus tuis: te enim adjuvat Deus tuus. Suscepit ergo eos David, et constituit principes turmae.
19 Porro de Manasse transfugerunt ad David, quando veniebat cum Philisthiim adversus Saul ut pugnaret: et non dimicavit cum eis, quia inito consilio remiserunt eum principes Philisthinorum, dicentes: Periculo capitis nostri revertetur ad dominum suum Saul.
20 Quando igitur reversus est in Siceleg, transfugerunt ad eum de Manasse, Ednas, et Jozabad, et Jedihel, et Michael, et Ednas, et Jozabad, et Eliu, et Salathi, principes millium in Manasse.
21 Hi praebuerunt auxilium David adversus latrunculos: omnes enim erant viri fortissimi, et facti sunt principes in exercitu.
22 Sed et per singulos dies veniebant ad David ad auxiliandum ei, usque dum fieret grandis numerus, quasi exercitus Dei.
23 Iste quoque est numerus principum exercitus qui venerunt ad David cum esset in Hebron, ut transferrent regnum Saul ad eum, juxta verbum Domini.
24 Filii Juda portantes clypeum et hastam, sex millia octingenti expediti ad praelium.
25 De filiis Simeon virorum fortissimorum ad pugnandum, septem millia centum.
26 De filiis Levi, quatuor millia sexcenti.
27 Jojoda quoque princeps de stirpe Aaron, et cum eo tria millia septingenti.
28 Sadoc etiam puer egregiae indolis, et domus patris ejus, principes viginti duo.
29 De filiis autem Benjamin fratribus Saul, tria millia: magna enim pars eorum adhuc sequebatur domum Saul.
30 Porro de filiis Ephraim viginti millia octingenti, fortissimi robore, viri nominati in cognationibus suis.
31 Et ex dimidia tribu Manasse, decem et octo millia, singuli per nomina sua, venerunt ut constituerent regem David.
32 De filiis quoque Issachar viri eruditi, qui noverant singula tempora ad praecipiendum quid facere deberet Israel, principes ducenti: omnis autem reliqua tribus eorum consilium sequebatur.
33 Porro de Zabulon qui egrediebantur ad praelium, et stabant in acie instructi armis bellicis, quinquaginta millia venerunt in auxilium, non in corde duplici.
34 Et de Nephthali, principes mille, et cum eis instructi clypeo et hasta, triginta et septem millia.
35 De Dan etiam praeparati ad praelium, viginti octo millia sexcenti.
36 Et de Aser egredientes ad pugnam, et in acie provocantes, quadraginta millia.
37 Trans Jordanem autem de filiis Ruben, et de Gad, et dimidia parte tribus Manasse, instructi armis bellicis, centum viginti millia.
38 Omnes isti viri bellatores expediti ad pugnandum, corde perfecto venerunt in Hebron, ut constituerent regem David super universum Israel: sed et omnes reliqui ex Israel uno corde erant, ut rex fieret David.
39 Fueruntque ibi apud David tribus diebus comedentes et bibentes: praeparaverant enim eis fratres sui.
40 Sed et qui juxta eos erant, usque ad Issachar, et Zabulon, et Nephthali, afferebant panes in asinis, et camelis, et mulis, et bobus ad vescendum: farinam, palathas, uvam passam, vinum, oleum, boves, arietes ad omnem copiam: gaudium quippe erat in Israel.
1 Chronicles 11-12
New International Version
1 Chronicles 11-12
New International Version
David Becomes King Over Israel(A)
11 All Israel(B) came together to David at Hebron(C) and said, “We are your own flesh and blood. 2 In the past, even while Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel on their military campaigns.(D) And the Lord your God said to you, ‘You will shepherd(E) my people Israel, and you will become their ruler.(F)’”
3 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(G) David king over Israel, as the Lord had promised through Samuel.
David Conquers Jerusalem(H)
4 David and all the Israelites marched to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus). The Jebusites(I) who lived there 5 said to David, “You will not get in here.” Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion—which is the City of David.
6 David had said, “Whoever leads the attack on the Jebusites will become commander in chief.” Joab(J) son of Zeruiah went up first, and so he received the command.
7 David then took up residence in the fortress, and so it was called the City of David. 8 He built up the city around it, from the terraces[a](K) to the surrounding wall, while Joab restored the rest of the city. 9 And David became more and more powerful,(L) because the Lord Almighty was with him.
David’s Mighty Warriors(M)
10 These were the chiefs of David’s mighty warriors—they, together with all Israel,(N) gave his kingship strong support to extend it over the whole land, as the Lord had promised(O)— 11 this is the list of David’s mighty warriors:(P)
Jashobeam,[b] a Hakmonite, was chief of the officers[c]; he raised his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed in one encounter.
12 Next to him was Eleazar son of Dodai the Ahohite, one of the three mighty warriors. 13 He was with David at Pas Dammim when the Philistines gathered there for battle. At a place where there was a field full of barley, the troops fled from the Philistines. 14 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.(Q)
15 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(R) of Rephaim. 16 At that time David was in the stronghold,(S) and the Philistine garrison was at Bethlehem. 17 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 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(T) it out to the Lord. 19 “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.
20 Abishai(U) the brother of Joab was chief of the Three. He raised his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed, and so he became as famous as the Three. 21 He was doubly honored above the Three and became their commander, even though he was not included among them.
22 Benaiah son of Jehoiada, a valiant fighter from Kabzeel,(V) performed great exploits. He struck down Moab’s two mightiest warriors. He also went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion.(W) 23 And he struck down an Egyptian who was five cubits[d] tall. Although the Egyptian had a spear like a weaver’s rod(X) in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club. He snatched the spear from the Egyptian’s hand and killed him with his own spear. 24 Such were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada; he too was as famous as the three mighty warriors. 25 He was held in greater honor than any of the Thirty, but he was not included among the Three. And David put him in charge of his bodyguard.
26 The mighty warriors were:
Asahel(Y) the brother of Joab,
Elhanan son of Dodo from Bethlehem,
27 Shammoth(Z) the Harorite,
Helez the Pelonite,
28 Ira son of Ikkesh from Tekoa,
Abiezer(AA) from Anathoth,
29 Sibbekai(AB) the Hushathite,
Ilai the Ahohite,
30 Maharai the Netophathite,
Heled son of Baanah the Netophathite,
31 Ithai son of Ribai from Gibeah in Benjamin,
Benaiah(AC) the Pirathonite,(AD)
32 Hurai from the ravines of Gaash,
Abiel the Arbathite,
33 Azmaveth the Baharumite,
Eliahba the Shaalbonite,
34 the sons of Hashem the Gizonite,
Jonathan son of Shagee the Hararite,
35 Ahiam son of Sakar the Hararite,
Eliphal son of Ur,
36 Hepher the Mekerathite,
Ahijah the Pelonite,
37 Hezro the Carmelite,
Naarai son of Ezbai,
38 Joel the brother of Nathan,
Mibhar son of Hagri,
39 Zelek the Ammonite,
Naharai the Berothite, the armor-bearer of Joab son of Zeruiah,
40 Ira the Ithrite,
Gareb the Ithrite,
41 Uriah(AE) the Hittite,
Zabad(AF) son of Ahlai,
42 Adina son of Shiza the Reubenite, who was chief of the Reubenites, and the thirty with him,
43 Hanan son of Maakah,
Joshaphat the Mithnite,
44 Uzzia the Ashterathite,(AG)
Shama and Jeiel the sons of Hotham the Aroerite,
45 Jediael son of Shimri,
his brother Joha the Tizite,
46 Eliel the Mahavite,
Jeribai and Joshaviah the sons of Elnaam,
Ithmah the Moabite,
47 Eliel, Obed and Jaasiel the Mezobaite.
Warriors Join David
12 These were the men who came to David at Ziklag,(AH) while he was banished from the presence of Saul son of Kish (they were among the warriors who helped him in battle; 2 they were armed with bows and were able to shoot arrows or to sling stones right-handed or left-handed;(AI) they were relatives of Saul(AJ) from the tribe of Benjamin):
3 Ahiezer their chief and Joash the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet the sons of Azmaveth; Berakah, Jehu the Anathothite, 4 and Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty warrior among the Thirty, who was a leader of the Thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, Jozabad the Gederathite,[e](AK) 5 Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah and Shephatiah the Haruphite; 6 Elkanah, Ishiah, Azarel, Joezer and Jashobeam the Korahites; 7 and Joelah and Zebadiah the sons of Jeroham from Gedor.(AL)
8 Some Gadites(AM) defected to David at his stronghold in the wilderness. They were brave warriors, ready for battle and able to handle the shield and spear. Their faces were the faces of lions,(AN) and they were as swift as gazelles(AO) in the mountains.
9 Ezer was the chief,
Obadiah the second in command, Eliab the third,
10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,
11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,
12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,
13 Jeremiah the tenth and Makbannai the eleventh.
14 These Gadites were army commanders; the least was a match for a hundred,(AP) and the greatest for a thousand.(AQ) 15 It was they who crossed the Jordan in the first month when it was overflowing all its banks,(AR) and they put to flight everyone living in the valleys, to the east and to the west.
16 Other Benjamites(AS) and some men from Judah also came to David in his stronghold. 17 David went out to meet them and said to them, “If you have come to me in peace to help me, I am ready for you to join me. But if you have come to betray me to my enemies when my hands are free from violence, may the God of our ancestors see it and judge you.”
18 Then the Spirit(AT) came on Amasai,(AU) chief of the Thirty, and he said:
“We are yours, David!
We are with you, son of Jesse!
Success,(AV) success to you,
and success to those who help you,
for your God will help you.”
So David received them and made them leaders of his raiding bands.
19 Some of the tribe of Manasseh defected to David when he went with the Philistines to fight against Saul. (He and his men did not help the Philistines because, after consultation, their rulers sent him away. They said, “It will cost us our heads if he deserts to his master Saul.”)(AW) 20 When David went to Ziklag,(AX) these were the men of Manasseh who defected to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu and Zillethai, leaders of units of a thousand in Manasseh. 21 They helped David against raiding bands, for all of them were brave warriors, and they were commanders in his army. 22 Day after day men came to help David, until he had a great army, like the army of God.[f]
Others Join David at Hebron
23 These are the numbers of the men armed for battle who came to David at Hebron(AY) to turn(AZ) Saul’s kingdom over to him, as the Lord had said:(BA)
24 from Judah, carrying shield and spear—6,800 armed for battle;
25 from Simeon, warriors ready for battle—7,100;
26 from Levi—4,600, 27 including Jehoiada, leader of the family of Aaron, with 3,700 men, 28 and Zadok,(BB) a brave young warrior, with 22 officers from his family;
29 from Benjamin,(BC) Saul’s tribe—3,000, most(BD) of whom had remained loyal to Saul’s house until then;
30 from Ephraim, brave warriors, famous in their own clans—20,800;
31 from half the tribe of Manasseh, designated by name to come and make David king—18,000;
32 from Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do(BE)—200 chiefs, with all their relatives under their command;
33 from Zebulun, experienced soldiers prepared for battle with every type of weapon, to help David with undivided loyalty—50,000;
34 from Naphtali—1,000 officers, together with 37,000 men carrying shields and spears;
35 from Dan, ready for battle—28,600;
36 from Asher, experienced soldiers prepared for battle—40,000;
37 and from east of the Jordan, from Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh, armed with every type of weapon—120,000.
38 All these were fighting men who volunteered to serve in the ranks. They came to Hebron fully determined to make David king over all Israel.(BF) All the rest of the Israelites were also of one mind to make David king. 39 The men spent three days there with David, eating and drinking,(BG) for their families had supplied provisions for them. 40 Also, their neighbors from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun and Naphtali came bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules and oxen. There were plentiful supplies(BH) of flour, fig cakes, raisin(BI) cakes, wine, olive oil, cattle and sheep, for there was joy(BJ) in Israel.
