Then all Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “Look, we are your flesh and bone.

2 Both yesterday as well as three days ago also when was Saul king you [were] the [one who] led out and the [one who] brought Israel and he said Yahweh God your to you you you will shepherd people my Israel and you you will be ruler over people my Israel.

In the recent past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led the Israelite army. Yahweh your God said to you, 'You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become a ruler over my people Israel.'”

3 And they came all [the] elders of Israel to the king Hebron towards and he made to them David a covenant at Hebron before Yahweh and they anointed David to king over Israel according to [the] word of Yahweh by [the] hand of Samuel.

5 And they said [the] inhabitants of Jebus to David not you will enter here and he captured David [the] stronghold of Zion it [was] [the] city of David.

The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will not come in here.” But David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David.

6 And he had said David any [one who] strikes down a Jebusite at the first he will become a chief and a commander and he went up at the first Joab [the] son of Zeruiah and he became a chief.

David had said, “Whoever attacks the Jebusites first will become chief and commander.” So Joab son of Zeruiah attacked first, so he was made the chief.

7 And he dwelt David in the fortress there-fore people called it [the] city of David.

Then David began to live in the stronghold. So they called it the city of David.

8 And he built the city from round about from the Millo and to the surroundings and Joab he restored [the] remainder of the city.

He built the city all around from the Millo and back to the surrounding wall. Joab restored the rest of the city.

9 And he went David continuously and becoming great and Yahweh of hosts [was] with him.

David became greater and greater because Yahweh of hosts was with him.

These were the leaders David had, who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, obeying the word of Yahweh concerning Israel.

They stood in the middle of the field. They defended it and cut down the Philistines and Yahweh rescued them with a great victory.

15 And they went down three of the thirty chief to the rock to David to [the] cave of Adullam and [the] camp of [the] Philistines [was] encamped in [the] valley of [the] Rephaites.

Then three of the thirty leaders went down to the rock to David, to the cave of Adullam. The army of the Philistines was camped in the Valley of Rephaim.

16 And David then [was] in the stronghold and [the] garrison of [the] Philistines then [was] at Beth-lehem.

At that time David was in his stronghold, a cave, while the Philistines had established their camp at Bethlehem.

17 (And he craved *Qk) David and he said who? will he give to drink me water from [the] well of Beth-lehem which [is] at the gate.

David was longing for water and said, “If only someone would give me water to drink from the well at Bethlehem, the well that is by the gate!”

18 And they broke through the three in [the] camp of [the] Philistines and they drew water from [the] well of Beth-lehem which [was] at the gate and they carried [them] and they brought [them] to David and not he was willing David to drink them and he poured out them to Yahweh.

So these three mighty men broke through the army of the Philistines and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, the well at the gate. They took the water and brought it to David, but he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out to Yahweh.

19 And he said far be it to me from God my from doing this [thing] ¿ [the] blood of the men these will I drink by lives their for by lives their they brought them and not he was willing to drink them these [things] they did [the] three the mighty [men].

Then he said, “May it be that I should never do this! Should I drink the blood of these men who have risked their lives?” Because they had put their lives at risk, David refused to drink it. These were the deeds of the three mighty men.
