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

¹And gathered are all Israel unto David to Hebron, saying, `Lo, thy bone and thy flesh [are] we;

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.

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.`

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.

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.

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

⁴And David goeth, and all Israel, to Jerusalem — it [is] Jebus — and there the Jebusite, the inhabitants of the land.

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

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.

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

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.

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

⁷And David dwelleth in the fortress, therefore they have called it, `City of David;`

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

⁸and he buildeth the city round about, from Millo, and unto the circumference, and Joab restoreth the rest of the city.

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

⁹And David goeth, going on and becoming great, and Jehovah of Hosts [is] with him.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

¹²And after him [is] Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite, he [is] among the three mighty;

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.

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,

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

¹⁴and they station themselves in the midst of the portion, and deliver it, and smite the Philistines, and Jehovah saveth — a great salvation.

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

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,

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

¹⁶and David [is] then in the fortress, and the station of the Philistines [is] then in Beth-Lehem,

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

¹⁷and David longeth, and saith, `Who doth give me to drink water from the well of Beth-Lehem, that [is] at the gate!`

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

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

²¹Of the three by the two he is honoured, and becometh their head; and unto the [first] three he hath not come.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

²⁴These [things] hath Benaiah son of Jehoiada done, and hath a name among the three mighty ones.

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

²⁵Of the thirty, lo, he [is] honoured, and unto the [first] three he hath not come, and David setteth him over his guard.

²⁶In junaki v vojskah so bili: Asahel, brat Joabov, Elhanan, sin Dodov iz Betlehema,
