1 Chronicles 11

1And all Israel came to David in Chebron, saying, Behold, we are your bones and your flesh.Καὶ ἦλθε πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Δαυὶδ ἐν Χεβρὼν, λέγοντες, ἰδοὺ ὀστᾶ σου καὶ σάρκες σου ἡμεῖς,

2And heretofore when Saul was king, you were he that led Israel in and out, and the Lord of Israel said to you, You shall feed my people Israel, and you shall be for a ruler over Israel.καὶ ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην ὄντος Σαοὺλ βασιλέως, σὺ ἦσθα ὁ ἐξάγων καὶ εἰσάγων τὸν Ἰσραήλ· καὶ εἶπεν Ἰσραὴλ Κύριός σοι, σὺ ποιμανεῖς τὸν λαόν μου τὸν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ σὺ ἔσῃ εἰς ἡγούμενον ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ.

3And all the elders of Israel came to the king to Chebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Chebron before the Lord: and they anointed David to be king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord by Samuel.Καὶ ἦλθον πάντες πρεσβύτεροι Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα εἰς Χεβρών· καὶ διέθετο αὐτοῖς ὁ βασιλεὺς Δαυὶδ διαθήκην ἐν Χεβρὼν ἔναντι Κυρίου· καὶ ἔχρισαν τὸν Δαυὶδ εἰς βασιλέα ἐπὶ Ἰσραὴλ κατὰ τὸν λόγον Κυρίου διὰ χειρὸς Σαμουήλ.

4And the king and his men went to Jerusalem, this is Jebus; and there the Jebusites the inhabitants of the land said to David,Καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ ἄνδρες αὐτοῦ εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ, αὕτη Ἰεβοὺς, καὶ ἐκεῖ οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν γῆν εἶπον τῷ Δανιδ, οὐκ εἰσελεύση ὧδε·

5You shall not enter in hither. But he took the strong hold of Sion: this is the city of David.καὶ προκατελάβετο τὴν περιοχὴν Σιών· αὕτη ἡ πόλις Δαυίδ.

6And David said, Whoever first smites the Jebusite, even he shall be chief and captain. And Joab the son of Saruia went up first, and became chief.Καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ, πᾶς τύπτων Ἰεβουσαῖον ἐν πρώτοις, καὶ ἔσται εἰς ἄρχοντα καὶ εἰς στρατηγόν· καὶ ἀνέβη ἐπʼ αὐτὴν ἐν πρώτοις Ἰωὰβ υἱὸς Σαρουία, καὶ ἐγένετο εἰς ἄρχοντα.

7And David lived in the strong hold; therefore he called it the city of David.Καὶ ἐκάθισε Δαυὶδ ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὴν πόλιν Δαυίδ.

8And he fortified the city round about.Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν πόλιν κύκλῳ.

9And David continued to increase, and the Lord Almighty was with him.Καὶ ἐπορεύετο Δαυὶδ πορευόμενος καὶ μεγαλυνόμενος, καὶ Κύριος παντοκράτωρ μετʼ αὐτοῦ.

10And these are the chiefs 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.καὶ οὗτοι οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν δυνατῶν, οἳ ἦσαν τῷ Δαυὶδ, οἱ κατισχύοντες μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ μετὰ παντὸς Ἰσραὴλ, τοῦ βασιλεῦσαι αὐτὸν κατὰ τὸν λόγον Κυρίου ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ.

11And this is the list of the mighty men of David; Jesebada, son of Achaman, first of the thirty: he drew his sword once against three hundred whom he killed at one time.Καὶ οὗτος ὁ ἀριθμὸς τῶν δυνατῶν τοῦ Δαυίδ· Ἰεσεβαδὰ υἱὸς ʼΑχαμὰν πρῶτος τῶν τριάκοντα· οὗτος ἐσπάσατο τὴν ῥομφαίαν αὐτοῦ ἅπαξ ἐπὶ τριακοσίους τραυματίας ἐν καιρῷ ἑνί.

12And after him Eleazar son of Dodai, the Achochite: he was among the three mighty men.Καὶ μετʼ αὐτὸν Ἐλεάζαρ υἱὸς Δωδαῒ ὁ Ἀχωχί· οὗτος ἦν ἐν τοῖς τρισὶ δυνατοῖς.

13He was with David in Phasodamin, and the Philistines were gathered there to battle, and there was a portion of the field full of barley; and the people fled before the Philistines.Οὗτος ἦν μετὰ Δαυὶδ ἐν Φασσδαμὶν, καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι συνήχθησαν ἐκεῖ εἰς πόλεμον, καὶ ἦν μερὶς τοῦ ἀγροῦ πλήρης κριθῶν, καὶ ὁ λαὸς ἔφυγεν ἀπὸ προσώπου ἀλλοφύλων.

14And he stood in the midst of the portion, and rescued it, and struck the Philistines; and the Lord wrought a great deliverance.Καὶ ἔστη ἐν μέσῳ τῆς μερίδος, καὶ ἔσωσεν αὐτὴν, καὶ ἐπάταξε τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους, καὶ ἐποίησε Κύριος σωτηρίαν μεγάλην.

15And three of the thirty chiefs went down to the rock to David, to the cave of Odollam, and the camp of the Philistines was in the giants' valley.Καὶ κατέβησαν τρεῖς ἐκ τῶν τριάκοντα ἀρχόντων εἰς τὴν πέτραν πρὸς Δαυὶδ εἰς τὸ σπήλαιον Ὀδολλὰμ, καὶ παρεμβολὴ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι τῶν γιγάντων.

16And David was then in the hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethleem.Καὶ Δαυὶδ τότε ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ, καὶ τὸ σύστημα τῶν ἀλλοφύλων τότε ἐν Βηθλεέμ.

17And David longed, and said, Who will give me water to drink of the well of Bethleem, that is in the gate?Καὶ ἐπεθύμησε Δαυὶδ, καὶ εἶπε, τίς ποτιεῖ με ὕδωρ ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου Βηθλεὲμ τοῦ ἐν τῇ πύλῃ;

18And the three broke through the camp of the Philistines, and they drew water out of the well that was in Bethleem, which was in the gate, and they took it, and came to David: but David would not drink it, and poured it out to the Lord, and said,Καὶ διέῤῥηξαν οἱ τρεῖς τὴν παρεμβολὴν τῶν ἀλλοφύλων· καὶ ὑδρεύσαντο ὕδωρ ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου τοῦ ἐν Βηθλεὲμ, ὃς ἦν ἐν τῇ πύλῃ, καὶ ἔλαβον καὶ ἤλθον πρὸς Δαυίδ· καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησε Δαυὶδ τοῦ πιεῖν αὐτὸ, καὶ ἔσπεισεν αὐτὸ τῷ Κυρίῳ,

19God forbid that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men with their lives? for with the peril of their lives they brought it. So he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.καὶ εἶπεν, ἵλεώς μοι ὁ θεὸς τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο· εἰ αἷμα ἀνδρῶν τούτων πίομαι ἐν ψυχαῖς αὐτῶν; ὅτι ἐν ψυχαῖς αὐτῶν ἤνεγκαν· καὶ οὐκ ἐβούλετο πιεῖν αὐτό· ταῦτα ἐποίησαν οἱ τρεῖς δυνατοί.

20And Abisa the brother of Joab, he was chief of three: he drew his sword against three hundred slain at one time, and he had a name among the second three.Καὶ Ἀβισὰ ἀδελφὸς Ἰωὰβ, οὗτος ἦν ἄρχων τῶν τριῶν· οὗτος ἐσπάσατο τὴν ῥομφαίαν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τριακοσίους τραυματίας ἐν καιρῷ ἑνὶ, καὶ οὗτος ἦν ὀνομαστὸς ἐν τοῖς τρισίν.

21He was more famous than the two others of the three, and he was chief over them; yet he reached not to the first three.Ἀπὸ τῶν τριῶν ὑπὲρ τοὺς δύο ἔνδοξος, καὶ ἦν αὐτοῖς εἰς ἄρχοντα, καὶ ἕως τῶν τριῶν οὐκ ἤρχετο.

22And Banaia the son of Jodae was the son of a mighty man: many were his acts for Cabasael: he struck two lion-like men of Moab, and he went down and struck a lion in a pit on a snowy day.Καὶ Βαναία υἱὸς Ἰωδαὲ υἱὸς ἄνδρος δυνατοῦ, πολλὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ὑπὲρ Καβασαήλ· οὗτος ἐπάταξε τοὺς δύο ἀριὴλ Μωὰβ, καὶ οὗτος κατέβη καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν λέοντα ἐν τῷ λάκκῳ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ χιόνος.

23And he struck an Egyptian, a wonderful man five cubits high; and in the hand of the Egyptian there was a spear like a weavers' beam; and Banaia went down to him with a staff, and took the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.Καὶ οὗτος ἐπάταξε τὸν ἄνδρα τὸν Αἰγύπτιον, ἄνδρα ὁρατὸν πεντάπηχυν, καὶ ἐν χειρὶ τοῦ Αἰγυπτίου δόρυ ὡς ἀντίον ὑφαινόντων· καὶ κατέβη ἐπʼ αὐτὸν Βαναία ἐν ῥάβδῳ, καὶ ἀφείλατο ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ Αἰγυπτίου τὸ δόρυ, καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ δόρατι αὐτοῦ.

24These things did Banaia son of Jodae, and his name was among the three mighties.Ταῦτα ἐποίησε Βαναία υἱὸς Ἰωδαὲ, καὶ τούτῳ ὄνομα ἐν τοῖς τρισὶ τοῖς δυνατοῖς. Ὑπὲρ τοὺς τριάκοντα ἦν ἔνδοξος οὗτος, καὶ πρὸς τοὺς τρεῖς οὐκ ἤρχετο· καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτὸν Δαυὶδ ἐπὶ τὴν πατριὰν αὐτοῦ.

25He was distinguished beyond the thirty, yet he reached not to the first three: and David set him over his family.Ὑπὲρ τοὺς τριάκοντα ἦν ἔνδοξος οὗτος, καὶ πρὸς τοὺς τρεῖς οὐκ ἤρχετο· καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτὸν Δαυεὶδ ἐπὶ τὴν πατριὰν αὐτοῦ.

26And the mighty men of the forces were, Asael the brother of Joab, Eleanan the son of Dodoe of Bethleem,Καὶ δυνατοὶ τῶν δυνάμεων, Ἀσαὴλ ἀδελφὸς Ἰωὰβ, Ἐλεανὰν υἱὸς Δωδωὲ ἐκ Βηθλεὲμ,
