Chronicles Chapter Eleven
New King James Version (NKJV)
INTRODUCTION TO 1 CHRONICLES 11
This
chapter treats of David's being anointed king by all Israel, 1 Chronicles 11:1,
which agrees with 2 Samuel 5:1 See
Gill on 2 Samuel 5:1 See
Gill on 2 Samuel 5:2 See
Gill on 2 Samuel 5:3 and of
his taking Jerusalem from the Jebusites, 1 Chronicles 11:4
the account of which we have 2 Samuel 5:6. See
Gill on 2 Samuel 5:6 See
Gill on 2 Samuel 5:7 See
Gill on 2 Samuel 5:8 See
Gill on 2 Samuel 5:9 See
Gill on 2 Samuel 5:10 only
here we are told, that it was Joab that smote the Jebusites first, and so was
made chief captain according to David's promise; and that he also repaired the
rest of the city David built round about; perhaps the fortifications demolished
in taking it, 1 Chronicles 11:6
or rather, as others give the sense, he "saved alive"F2יחיה את שאר
"vivas conservavit urbis reliquias", Junius & Tremellius;
Strigelius in Poli Synops. in loc. those that remained in the city, after he
had slain the lame and the blind; though a learnedF4Dr. Kennicot's
State of the Hebrew Text, dissert. 1. p. 54. writer conjectures it should be
read, "and Joab יהיה was made שר the governor of the city"; and the Targum
is,"Joab governed the rest of the city.'And then follows an account of
David's mighty men and worthies, 1 Chronicles 11:10
of whom see the notes on 2 Samuel 23:8, 2 Samuel 23:9, 2 Samuel 23:10, 2 Samuel 23:11, 2 Samuel 23:12, 2 Samuel 23:13, 2 Samuel 23:14, 2 Samuel 23:15, 2 Samuel 23:16, 2 Samuel 23:17, 2 Samuel 23:18, 2 Samuel 23:19, 2 Samuel 23:20, 2 Samuel 23:21, 2 Samuel 23:22, 2 Samuel 23:23, 2 Samuel 23:24, 2 Samuel 23:25, 2 Samuel 23:26, 2 Samuel 23:27, 2 Samuel 23:28, 2 Samuel 23:29, 2 Samuel 23:30, 2 Samuel 23:31, 2 Samuel 23:32, 2 Samuel 23:33, 2 Samuel 23:34, 2 Samuel 23:35, 2 Samuel 23:36, 2 Samuel 23:37, 2 Samuel 23:38, 2 Samuel 23:39 and
others are added here, 1 Chronicles 11:42
of whom we know no more than their names.
1 Chronicles
11:1 Then all Israel
came together to David at Hebron, saying, “Indeed we are your bone and
your flesh.
YLT
1And gathered are all Israel
unto David to Hebron, saying, `Lo, thy bone and thy flesh [are] we;
1 Chronicles
11:2 2 Also,
in time past, even when Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel
out and brought them in; and the Lord your God said to you,
‘You shall shepherd My people Israel, and be ruler over My people Israel.’”
YLT
2even in time past, even in
Saul's being king, it is thou who art taking out and bringing in Israel, and
Jehovah thy God saith to thee: Thou dost feed My people Israel, and thou art
leader over My people Israel.'
1 Chronicles
11:3 3 Therefore
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.
YLT
3And all the elders of
Israel come in unto the king to Hebron, and David maketh with them a covenant
in Hebron before Jehovah, and they anoint David for king over Israel, according
to the word of Jehovah by the hand of Samuel.
1 Chronicles 11:4 4 And David and all Israel
went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus, where the Jebusites were, the
inhabitants of the land.
YLT
4And David goeth, and all
Israel, to Jerusalem -- it [is] Jebus -- and there the Jebusite, the
inhabitants of the land.
1 Chronicles 11:5 5 But the inhabitants of
Jebus said to David, “You shall not come in here!” Nevertheless David took the
stronghold of Zion (that is, the City of David).
YLT
5And the inhabitants of
Jebus say to David, `Thou dost not come in hither;' and David captureth the
fortress of Zion -- it [is] the city of David.
1 Chronicles 11:6 6 Now David said, “Whoever
attacks the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.” And Joab the son of
Zeruiah went up first, and became chief.
YLT
6And David saith, `Whoever
smiteth the Jebusite first doth become head and prince;' and go up first doth
Joab son of Zeruiah and becometh head.
1 Chronicles 11:7 7 Then David dwelt in the
stronghold; therefore they called it the City of David.
YLT
7And David dwelleth in the
fortress, therefore they have called it, `City of David;'
1 Chronicles 11:8 8 And he built the city
around it, from the Millo[a] to the
surrounding area. Joab repaired the rest of the city.
YLT
8and he buildeth the city
round about, from Millo, and unto the circumference, and Joab restoreth the
rest of the city.
1 Chronicles 11:9 9 So David went on and became
great, and the Lord
of hosts was with him.
YLT
9And David goeth, going on
and becoming great, and Jehovah of Hosts [is] with him.
1 Chronicles 11:10 10 Now these were the
heads 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.
YLT
10And these [are] heads of
the mighty ones whom David hath, who are strengthening themselves with him in
his kingdom, with all Israel, to cause him to reign, according to the word of
Jehovah, over Israel.
1 Chronicles 11:11 11 And this is the
number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam the son of a Hachmonite,
chief of the captains;[b] he had
lifted up his spear against three hundred, killed by him at one time.
YLT
11And this [is] an account of
the mighty ones whom David hath: Jashobeam son of a Hachmonite [is] head of the
thirty; he is lifting up his spear against three hundred -- wounded, at one
time.
1 Chronicles 11:12 12 After him was
Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty
men.
YLT
12And after him [is] Eleazar
son of Dodo the Ahohite, he [is] among the three mighty;
1 Chronicles 11:13 13 He was with David at
Pasdammim. Now there the Philistines were gathered for battle, and there was a
piece of ground full of barley. So the people fled from the Philistines.
YLT
13he hath been with David in
Pas-Dammim, and the Philistines have been gathered there to battle, and a
portion of the field is full of barley, and the people have fled from the face
of the Philistines,
1 Chronicles 11:14 14 But they stationed
themselves in the middle of that field, defended it, and killed the
Philistines. So the Lord
brought about a great victory.
YLT
14and they station themselves
in the midst of the portion, and deliver it, and smite the Philistines, and
Jehovah saveth -- a great salvation.
1 Chronicles 11:15 15 Now three of the thirty
chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the
army of the Philistines encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.
YLT
15And three of the thirty
heads go down on the rock unto David, unto the cave of Adullam, and the host of
the Philistines is encamping in the valley of Rephaim,
1 Chronicles 11:16 16 David was then in
the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in
Bethlehem.
YLT
16and David [is] then in the
fortress, and the station of the Philistines [is] then in Beth-Lehem,
1 Chronicles 11:17 17 And David said with
longing, “Oh, that someone would give me a drink of water from the well of
Bethlehem, which is by the gate!”
YLT
17and David longeth, and
saith, `Who doth give me to drink water from the well of Beth-Lehem, that [is]
at the gate!'
1 Chronicles 11:18 18 So the three broke through
the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was
by the gate, and took it and brought it to David. Nevertheless
David would not drink it, but poured it out to the Lord.
YLT
18And the three break through
the camp of the Philistines, and draw water from the well of Beth-Lehem, that
[is] at the gate, and bear and bring in unto David, and David hath not been
willing to drink it, and poureth it out to Jehovah,
1 Chronicles 11:19 19 And he said, “Far be it
from me, O my God, that I should do this! Shall I drink the blood of these men who
have put their lives in jeopardy? For at the risk of their lives
they brought it.” Therefore he would not drink it. These things were done by
the three mighty men.
YLT
19and saith, `Far be it from
me, by my God, to do this; the blood of these men do I drink with their lives?
for with their lives they have brought it;' and he was not willing to drink it;
these [things] did the three mighty ones.
1 Chronicles 11:20 20 Abishai the brother of
Joab was chief of another three.[c] He had
lifted up his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and
won a name among these three.
YLT
20And Abishai brother of
Joab, he hath been head of the three: and he is lifting up his spear against
three hundred -- wounded, and hath a name among three.
1 Chronicles 11:21 21 Of the three he was more
honored than the other two men. Therefore he became their captain. However he
did not attain to the first three.
YLT
21Of the three by the two he
is honoured, and becometh their head; and unto the [first] three he hath not
come.
1 Chronicles 11:22 22 Benaiah was the son of
Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man from Kabzeel, who had done many deeds. He
had killed two lion-like heroes of Moab. He also had gone down and killed a
lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.
YLT
22Benaiah son of Jehoiada,
son of a man of valour, of great deeds, from Kabzeel: he hath smitten the two
lion-like Moabites, and he hath gone down and smitten the lion in the midst of
the pit, in the day of snow.
1 Chronicles 11:23 23 And he killed an Egyptian,
a man of great height, five cubits tall. In the Egyptian’s hand there
was a spear like a weaver’s beam; and he went down to him with a staff,
wrested the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own
spear.
YLT
23And he hath smitten the
man, the Egyptian -- a man of measure, five by the cubit -- and in the hand of
the Egyptian [is] a spear like a beam of weavers, and he goeth down unto him
with a rod, and taketh violently away the spear out of the hand of the
Egyptian, and slayeth him with his own spear.
1 Chronicles 11:24 24 These things
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did, and won a name among three mighty men.
YLT
24These [things] hath Benaiah
son of Jehoiada done, and hath a name among the three mighty ones.
1 Chronicles 11:25 25 Indeed he was more honored
than the thirty, but he did not attain to the first three. And David
appointed him over his guard.
YLT
25Of the thirty, lo, he [is]
honoured, and unto the [first] three he hath not come, and David setteth him
over his guard.
1 Chronicles 11:26 26 Also the mighty warriors were
