2 Samuel 23

ECB(i) 1
THE FINAL WORDS OF DAVID
And these are the final words of David - an oracle of David the son of Yishay; an oracle of the mighty raised on high; the anointed of the Elohim of Yaaqov and the pleasantness of the psalms of Yisra El. 2 The Spirit of Yah Veh words by me and his utterance is in my tongue. 3 The Elohim of Yisra El says - the Rock of Yisra El words to me, He who dominates over humanity is just; dominating in the awe of Elohim: 4 rising as the light of the morning - as the morning sun without thick clouds; - as the sprouts from the earth by brilliancy after rain. 5 Although my house is not so with El; yet he set an eternal covenant with me - aligned in all and guarded: for this is all my salvation and all my delight, although he sprouts it not. 6 As for Beli Yaal - as a fleeing thorn they all are; because they are not taken by hands: 7 but the man who touches them must be filled with iron with the timber of a spear; and in burning, they are burnt with fire in their seat. 8
THE MIGHTY OF DAVID
These are the names of the mighty of David: Tachkemoniy Yosheb Bash Shabbath - head of the tertiaries - the same Adino the spearer who pierced eight hundred at one time. 9 And after him El Azar the son of Dodo the Ach Oachiy - of the three mighty with David, they reproached the Peleshethiy gathering to war - the men of Yisra El ascended 10 and he rose and smote the Peleshethiy until his hand belabored and his hand adhered to the sword: and that day Yah Veh worked a great salvation and the people returned after him only, to strip. 11 And after him Shammah the son of Age the Harariy: and the Peleshethiy gathered alive in an allotment of field full of lentiles: and the people fled the face of the Peleshethiy: 12 and he stood midst the allotment and rescued it and smote the Peleshethiy: and Yah Veh worked a great salvation. 13 And three of the thirty heads descended and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam: and the living of the Peleshethiy encamped in the valley of Rephaim: 14 and David was then in a hold and the standing camp of the Peleshethiy was then Beth Lechem. 15 And David desired and said, Oh that someone give me a drink of the water of the well of Beth Lechem by the portal! 16 And the three mighty split the camp of the Peleshethiy and bailed water from the well of Beth Lechem by the portal and lifted and brought it to David. And he willed to not drink thereof but poured it to Yah Veh: 17 and he said, Far be it from me, O Yah Veh, that I work this. Is this the blood of the men who go with their souls? - and he willed to not drink it. These three mighty worked all these. 18 And Abi Shai the brother of Yah Ab the son of Seruyah was head among three: and he wakened his spear against three hundred and pierced them and had a name among three. 19 Was he not most honorable of three? and he became their governor: howbeit he attained not to the three. 20 And Bena Yah the son of Yah Yada the son of a valiant man of Qabse El; great in deeds: he smote two Ari Eliy of Moab: and descended and smote a lion midst a well in a day of snow: 21 and he smote a man - a Misrayim - a man of visage: and the Misrayim had a spear in his hand; and he descended to him with a scion and stripped the spear from the hand of the Misrayim and slaughtered him with his own spear. 22 These worked Bena Yah the son of Yah Yada and had a name among three mighty: 23 he was more honorable than the thirty but he attained not to the three: and David set him over his guard. 24 Asa El the brother of Yah Ab was one of the thirty; El Hanan the son of Dodo of Beth Lechem, 25 Shammah the Harodiy, Eli Qa the Harodiy, 26 Heles the Paltiy, Ira the son of Iqqesh the Teqohiy, 27 Abi Ezer the Anathothiy, Mebunnay the Hushathiy, 28 Salmon the Ach Oachiy, Maharay the Netophathiy, 29 Heleb the son of Baanah a Netophathiy, Ittay the son of Ribay from Gibah of the sons of Ben Yamin, 30 Bena Yah the Pirathoniy, Hiddai of the wadies of Gaash, 31 Abi Albon the Arabahiy, Azmaveth the Barhumiy, 32 El Yachba the Shaalbimiy of the sons of Yashen, Yah Nathan, 33 Shammah the Harariy, Achiy Am the son of Sharar the Harariy, 34 Eli Phelet the son of Achasbay, the son of the Maachahiy, Eli Am the son of Achiy Thophel the Gilohiy, 35 Hesro the Karmeliy, Paaray the Arbiy, 36 Yigal the son of Nathan of Sobah, Bani the Gadiy, 37 Seleq the Ammoniy, Nachray the Beerothiy instrument bearer to Yah Ab the son of Seruyah, 38 Ira an Yetheriy, Gareb an Yetheriy, 39 Uri Yah the Hethiy: - thirty-seven in all.
