¹Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

¹Tedaj se zbere ves Izrael pri Davidu v Hebronu in reko: Glej, kost smo tvoja in meso tvoje.

²And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel.

²In v prejšnjih časih, ko je kraljeval Savel, si vodil ti ven in noter Izraela; in GOSPOD, Bog tvoj, je rekel tebi: Ti boš pasel ljudstvo moje Izraela in ti bodeš vojvoda ljudstvu mojemu Izraelu.

³Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel.

³Tako so prišli vsi starejšine Izraelovi h kralju v Hebron, in David je sklenil zavezo ž njimi v Hebronu pred GOSPODOM. In pomazilili so Davida za kralja Izraelu, soglasno z besedo GOSPODOVO po Samuelu.

⁴And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.

⁴In David in ves Izrael so šli v Jeruzalem (to je Jebus); ondi so bili Jebusejci, prebivalci dežele.

⁵And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which is the city of David.

⁵In prebivalci v Jebusu so rekli Davidu: Ne prideš sem noter. Vendar pa je David zavzel grad Sion, to je mesto Davidovo.

⁶And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.

⁶In David je rekel: Kdorkoli udari Jebusejce prvi, bode poglavar in poveljnik. In Joab, sin Zervijin, je zlezel gori prvi, in postal je poglavar.

⁷And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of David.

⁷In David se je nastanil v gradu, zato so ga imenovali mesto Davidovo.

⁸And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

⁸In obzidal je mesto, od Mila in krog, do koder je segalo. Joab pa je popravil drugo po mestu.

⁹So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts was with him.

⁹In David je bolj in bolj napredoval, zakaj GOSPOD nad vojskami je bil ž njim.

¹⁰These also are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, and with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.

¹⁰Ti pa so prvi izmed junakov, ki jih je imel David in ki so mu bili vrli pomočniki v kraljestvu njegovem z vsem Izraelom vred, da ga postavijo za kralja po besedi GOSPODOVI o Izraelu.

¹¹And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had; Jashobeam, an Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain by him at one time.

¹¹In to je število junakov, ki jih je imel David: Jasobeam, sin Hakmonija, prvi iz tridesetih; on je vzdignil sulico svojo zoper tristo in jih je pobil naenkrat.

¹²And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties.

¹²In za njim je bil Eleazar, sin Dodov, Ahohovec, eden izmed treh junakov.

¹³He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.

¹³On je bil z Davidom v Pasdamimu, in ondi so bili Filistejci zbrani na boj; bil pa je tam kos njive, poln ječmena, in ljudstvo je bežalo izpred Filjstejcev.

¹⁴And they set themselves in the midst of that parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great deliverance.

¹⁴In postavita se sredi zemljišča in ga obranita ter pobijeta Filistejce; in GOSPOD jih je rešil z zmago veliko.

¹⁵Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim.

¹⁵In trije izmed tridesetih načelnikov so šli doli v skalo k Davidu, v Adulamsko votlino; in vojska Filistejcev je bila utaborjena v dolini Rafaimov.

¹⁶And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem.

¹⁶In David je bil takrat v trdnjavi, in straža Filistejcev je takrat bila v Betlehemu.

¹⁷And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, that is at the gate!

¹⁷In Davida je obšla želja in je rekel: O da bi mi kdo dal piti vode iz studenca v Betlehemu, ki je pri vratih!

¹⁸And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD.

¹⁸In ti trije so predrli skozi tabor Filistejcev in zajeli vode iz studenca v Betlehemu, ki je bil pri vratih, in so jo vzeli in prinesli Davidu. A David je ni hotel piti, temuč jo je izlil kot daritev GOSPODU

¹⁹And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest.

¹⁹in je rekel: Bog mi ne daj, da bi to storil! Naj li pijem kri teh mož, ki so vnemar pustili življenje svoje? kajti z nevarnostjo svojega življenja so jo prinesli sem! Zato je ni hotel piti. To so storili ti trije junaki.

²⁰And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew them, and had a name among the three.

²⁰In Abisaj, brat Joabov, je bil glava drugim trem; zakaj mahnil je s sulico svojo po treh sto in jih je pobil; in imel je sloveče ime med temi tremi.

²¹Of the three, he was more honorable than the two; for he was their captain: howbeit he attained not to the first three.

²¹Izmed teh treh druge vrste je bil najbolj slaven in jim je postal poveljnik; toda prvih treh ni dosegel.

²²Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done many acts; he slew two lionlike men of Moab: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day.

²²Benaja, sin Jojadov, sin hrabrega; moža iz Kabzeela, ki je bil storil velika dela, ta je ubil dva sina Ariela iz Moaba; ta je stopil tudi doli v jamo in ubil leva v njej, ko je bil sneg.

²³And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.

²³In ubil je Egipčana, moža visoke postave, pet komolcev dolgega, in Egipčan je imel v roki sulico kakor tkalčje vratilo, a on je šel doli k njemu s palico in iztrgal sulico Egipčanu iz roke ter ga prebodel z lastno sulico njegovo.

²⁴These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among the three mighties.

²⁴To je storil Benaja, sin Jojadov, in je imel sloveče ime med temi tremi junaki.

²⁵Behold, he was honorable among the thirty, but attained not to the first three: and David set him over his guard.

²⁵Glej, on je bil slavnejši nego tistih trideset, ali prvih treh ni dosegel; in David ga je postavil med svoje svetovalce.
