Bible. Chronicles, 1st
their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
010:013 So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against Yahweh,
because of the word of Yahweh, which he didn't keep; and also
because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit,
to inquire [thereby],
010:014 and didn't inquire of Yahweh: therefore he killed him,
and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
011:001 Then all Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron,
saying, Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
011:002 In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led
out and brought in Israel: and Yahweh your God said to you,
You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall
be prince over my people Israel.
011:003 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron;
and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Yahweh;
and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word
of Yahweh by Samuel.
011:004 David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (the same is Jebus);
and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.
011:005 The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, You shall not come in here.
Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion; the same is
the city of David.
011:006 David said, Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be
chief and captain. Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first,
and was made chief.
011:007 David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it
the city of David.
011:008 He built the city round about, from Millo even round about;
and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
011:009 David grew greater and greater; for Yahweh of Armies was with him.
011:010 Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had,
who shown themselves strong with him in his kingdom,
together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word
of Yahweh concerning Israel.
011:011 This is the number of the mighty men whom David had:
Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty;
he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them
at one time.
011:012 After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was
one of the three mighty men.
011:013 He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were
gathered together to battle, where was a plot of ground full
of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.
011:014 They stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed
the Philistines; and Yahweh saved them by a great victory.
011:015 Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David,
into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines
were encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
011:016 David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the
Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
