1. Congregatus est igitur omnis Israel ad David in Hebron dicens: “Os tuum sumus et caro tua.

1. Then all Israel gathered together to David at Hebron, and said, "Behold, we are your bone and flesh.

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””.

2. In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you that 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.'"

3. Venerunt ergo omnes maiores natu Israel ad regem in Hebron, et iniit David cum eis foedus in Hebron coram Domino; unxeruntque eum regem super Israel iuxta sermonem Domini, quem locutus est in manu Samuel.

3. 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.

4. Abiit quoque David et omnis Israel in Ierusalem, haec est Iebus, ubi erant Iebusaei habitatores terrae.

4. And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, that is Jebus, where the Jeb'usites were, the inhabitants of the land.

5. Dixeruntque, qui habitabant in Iebus, ad David: “Non ingredieris huc”. Porro David cepit arcem Sion, quae est civitas David;

5. 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.

6. dixitque: “Omnis, qui percusserit Iebusaeum, in primis erit princeps et dux”. Ascendit igitur primus Ioab filius Sarviae et factus est princeps.

6. David said, "Whoever shall smite the Jeb'usites first shall be chief and commander." And Jo'ab the son of Zeru'iah went up first, so he became chief.

7. Habitavit autem David in arce, et idcirco appellata est civitas David.

7. And David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore it was called the city of David.

8. Aedificavitque urbem in circuitu a Mello usque ad gyrum; Ioab autem reliqua urbis instauravit.

8. And he built the city round about from the Millo in complete circuit; and Jo'ab repaired the rest of the city.

9. Proficiebatque David vadens et crescens, et Dominus exercituum erat cum eo.

9. And David became greater and greater, for the LORD of hosts was with him.

10. Hi principes virorum fortium David, qui adiuverunt eum, ut rex fieret super omnem Israel iuxta verbum Domini, quod locutus est ad Israel;

10. 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.

11. et iste numerus robustorum David: Iesbaam filius Hachamon filius Hachamonitis princeps inter triginta; iste levavit hastam suam super trecentos, quos occidit impetu uno.

11. This is an account of David's mighty men: Jasho'be-am, a Hach'monite, was chief of the three; he wielded his spear against three hundred whom he slew at one time.

12. Et post eum Eleazar filius Dodo Ahohites, qui erat inter tres potentes;

12. And next to him among the three mighty men was Elea'zar the son of Dodo, the Aho'hite.

13. iste fuit cum David in Aphesdommim, quando Philisthim congregati sunt ad locum illum in proelium. Et erat ager regionis illius plenus hordeo, fugeratque populus a facie Philisthinorum.

13. He was with David at Pas-dam'mim when the Philistines were gathered there for battle. There was a plot of ground full of barley, and the men fled from the Philistines.

14. Hic stetit in medio agri et defendit eum; cumque percussisset Philisthaeos, dedit Dominus salutem magnam populo suo.

14. But he took his stand in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great victory.

15. Descenderunt autem tres de triginta principibus ad petram, in qua erat David, ad speluncam Odollam, quando Philisthim fuerant castrametati in valle Raphaim.

15. 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 Reph'aim.

16. Porro David erat in praesidio, et statio Philisthinorum in Bethlehem;

16. David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then at Bethlehem.

17. desideravit igitur David et dixit: “O si quis daret mihi aquam de cisterna Bethlehem, quae est in porta!”.

17. And David said longingly, "O that some one would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem which is by the gate!"

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

18. Then the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem which was by the gate, and took and brought it to David. But David would not drink of it; he poured it out to the LORD,

19. dicens: “Avertat a me Deus meus, ut hoc faciam et sanguinem virorum istorum bibam, quia in periculo animarum suarum attulerunt mihi aquam”. Et ob hanc causam noluit bibere. Haec fecerunt tres robustissimi.

19. 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.

20. Abisai quoque frater Ioab; ipse erat princeps inter triginta et ipse levavit hastam suam contra trecentos, quos interfecit, et ipse erat inter tres nominatus,

20. Now Abi'shai, the brother of Jo'ab, was chief of the thirty. And he wielded his spear against three hundred men and slew them, and won a name beside the three.

21. inter triginta duplici honore eminens et princeps eorum; verumtamen usque ad tres non pervenerat.

21. He was the most renowned of the thirty, and became their commander; but he did not attain to the three.

22. Banaias filius Ioiadae vir robustissimus, qui multa opera perpetrarat, de Cabseel; ipse percussit duos Ariel de Moab et ipse descendit et interfecit leonem in media cisterna tempore nivis.

22. And Benai'ah the son of Jehoi'ada was a valiant man of Kabzeel, a doer of great deeds; he smote two ariels of Moab. He also went down and slew a lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen.

23. Et ipse percussit virum Aegyptium, cuius statura erat quinque cubitorum, et habebat lanceam ut liciatorium texentium; descendit ergo ad eum cum virga et rapuit hastam, quam tenebat manu, et interfecit eum hasta sua.

23. And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits tall. The Egyptian had in his hand a spear like a weaver's beam; but Benai'ah went down to him with a staff, and snatched the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.

24. Haec fecit Banaias filius Ioiadae, qui erat inter tres robustos nominatus,

24. These things did Benai'ah the son of Jehoi'ada, and won a name beside the three mighty men.

25. inter triginta primus; verumtamen ad tres usque non pervenerat, posuit autem eum David super satellites suos.

25. He was renowned among the thirty, but he did not attain to the three. And David set him over his bodyguard.
