2. Samuel 23 – Studienbibel

1 Now these be the last314 words1697 of David1732. David1732 the son1121 of Jesse3448 said5002, and the man1397 who was raised up6965 on high5920, the anointed4899 of the God430 of Jacob3290, and the sweet5273 psalmist2158 of Israel3478, said5002, 2 The Spirit7307 of the LORD3068 spake1696 by me, and his word4405 was in my tongue3956. 3 The God430 of Israel3478 said559, the Rock6697 of Israel3478 spake1696 to me, He that ruleth4910 over men120 must be just6662, ruling4910 in the fear3374 of God430.¹ 4 And he shall be as the light216 of the morning1242, when the sun8121 riseth2224, even a morning1242 without3808 clouds5645; as the tender grass1877 springing out of the earth776 by clear shining5051 after rain4306. 5 Although my house1004 be not so with God410; yet he hath made7760 with me an everlasting5769 covenant1285, ordered6186 in all things, and sure8104: for this is all my salvation3468, and all my desire2656, although he make it not to grow6779. 6 But the sons of Belial1100 shall be all of them as thorns6975 thrust away5074, because they cannot be taken3947 with hands3027: 7 But the man376 that shall touch5060 them must be fenced4390 with iron1270 and the staff6086 of a spear2595; and they shall be utterly8313 burned8313 with fire784 in the same place7675.²

8 These be the names8034 of the mighty men1368 whom David1732 had: The Tachmonite8461 that sat3427 in the seat7675 3429, chief7218 among the captains7991; the same was Adino5722 the Eznite6112: he lift up his spear against eight8083 hundred3967, whom he slew2491 at one259 time6471.³ 9 And after310 him was Eleazar499 the son1121 of Dodo1734 the Ahohite266, one of the three7969 mighty men1368 with David1732, when they defied2778 the Philistines6430 that were there gathered together622 to battle4421, and the men376 of Israel3478 were gone away5927: 10 He arose6965, and smote5221 the Philistines6430 until3588 his hand3027 was weary3021, and his hand3027 clave1692 unto the sword2719: and the LORD3068 wrought6213 a great1419 victory8668 that day3117; and the people5971 returned7725 after310 him only to spoil6584. 11 And after310 him was Shammah8048 the son1121 of Agee89 the Hararite2043. And the Philistines6430 were gathered together622 into a troop2416, where was a piece2513 of ground7704 full4392 of lentiles5742: and the people5971 fled5127 from6440 the Philistines6430.⁴ 12 But he stood3320 in the midst8432 of the ground2513, and defended5337 it, and slew5221 the Philistines6430: and the LORD3068 wrought6213 a great1419 victory8668. 13 And three7969 7970 of the thirty7970 chief7218 went down3381, and came935 to David1732 in the harvest time7105 unto the cave4631 of Adullam5725: and the troop2416 of the Philistines6430 pitched2583 in the valley6010 of Rephaim7497.⁵ 14 And David1732 was then in an hold4686, and the garrison4673 of the Philistines6430 was then in Bethlehem1035. 15 And David1732 longed183, and said559, Oh that one would give me drink8248 of the water4325 of the well953 of Bethlehem1035, which is by the gate8179! 16 And the three7969 mighty men1368 brake through1234 the host4264 of the Philistines6430, and drew7579 water4325 out of the well953 of Bethlehem1035, that was by the gate8179, and took5375 it, and brought935 it to David1732: nevertheless he would14 not drink8354 thereof, but poured it out5258 unto the LORD3068. 17 And he said559, Be it far2486 from me, O LORD3068, that I should do6213 this: is not this the blood1818 of the men582 that went1980 in jeopardy of their lives5315? therefore he would14 not drink8354 it. These things did6213 these three7969 mighty men1368. 18 And Abishai52, the brother251 of Joab3097, the son1121 of Zeruiah6870, was chief7218 among three7992. And he lifted up5782 his spear2595 against three7969 hundred3967, and slew2491 them, and had the name8034 among three7969.⁶ 19 Was he not most honourable3513 of three7969? therefore he was their captain8269: howbeit he attained935 not unto the first three7969. 20 And Benaiah1141 the son1121 of Jehoiada3077, the son1121 of a valiant2428 man376 381, of Kabzeel6909, who had done many7227 acts6467, he slew5221 two8147 lionlike men739 of Moab4124: he went down3381 also and slew5221 a lion738 in the midst8432 of a pit953 in time3117 of snow7950:⁷⁸ 21 And he slew2026 an Egyptian4713, a goodly4758 man376: and the Egyptian4713 had a spear2595 in his hand3027; but he went down3381 to him with a staff7626, and plucked1497 the spear2595 out of the Egyptian's4713 hand3027, and slew5221 him with his own spear2595.⁹ 22 These things did6213 Benaiah1141 the son1121 of Jehoiada3077, and had the name8034 among three7969 mighty men1368. 23 He was more honourable3513 than the thirty7970, but he attained935 not to the first three7969. And David1732 set7760 him over his guard4928.¹⁰¹¹ 24 Asahel6214 the brother251 of Joab3097 was one of the thirty7970; Elhanan445 the son1121 of Dodo1734 of Bethlehem1035, 25 Shammah8048 the Harodite2733, Elika470 the Harodite2733, 26 Helez2503 the Paltite6407, Ira5896 the son1121 of Ikkesh6142 the Tekoite8621, 27 Abiezer44 the Anethothite6069, Mebunnai4012 the Hushathite2843, 28 Zalmon6756 the Ahohite266, Maharai4121 the Netophathite5200, 29 Heleb2460 the son1121 of Baanah1196, a Netophathite5200, Ittai863 the son1121 of Ribai7380 out of Gibeah1390 of the children1121 of Benjamin1144, 30 Benaiah1141 the Pirathonite6553, Hiddai1914 of the brooks5158 of Gaash1608,¹² 31 Abialbon45 the Arbathite6164, Azmaveth5820 the Barhumite1273, 32 Eliahba455 the Shaalbonite8170, of the sons1121 of Jashen3464, Jonathan3083, 33 Shammah8048 the Hararite2043, Ahiam279 the son1121 of Sharar8325 the Hararite2043, 34 Eliphelet467 the son1121 of Ahasbai308, the son1121 of the Maachathite4602, Eliam463 the son1121 of Ahithophel302 the Gilonite1526, 35 Hezrai2695 the Carmelite3761, Paarai6474 the Arbite701, 36 Igal3008 the son1121 of Nathan5416 of Zobah6678, Bani1137 the Gadite1425, 37 Zelek6768 the Ammonite5984, Naharai5171 the Beerothite886, armourbearer5375 3627 to Joab3097 the son1121 of Zeruiah6870, 38 Ira5896 an Ithrite3505, Gareb1619 an Ithrite3505, 39 Uriah223 the Hittite2850: thirty7970 and seven7651 in all.
