Ang Katapusan nga Ginhambal ni David

23 Si David nga anak ni Jesse ginpabantog sang Labing Mataas nga Dios. Ginpili siya sang Dios ni Jacob nga mangin hari. Kag manugkumposo siya sang matahom nga mga ambahanon sang Israel. Amo ini ang katapusan niya nga ginhambal:

“Naghambal ang Espiritu sang Ginoo paagi sa akon;
ang iya mga pulong ara sa akon baba.
Nagsiling sa akon ang Dios, ang palalipdan nga bato sang Israel,
‘Ang tawo nga nagadumala sing matarong kag may kahadlok sa Dios,
pareho siya sang kasanag sang adlaw nga nagabutlak kon aga nga wala sing gal-om,
nga nagapasilak sa mga hilamon nga naulanan!’
Amo gid sina ang akon pamilya[a] sa panulok sang Dios,
kay naghimo siya sa akon sang kasugtanan nga wala sing katapusan.
Ini nga kasugtanan maayo ang pagkaplastar kag indi na mabayluhan.
Gani sigurado ako nga luwason ako permi sang Dios
kag ihatag niya sa akon ang tanan ko nga ginahandom.
6-7 Pero ang malaot nga mga tawo pareho sa tunukon nga mga tanom nga ginahaboy.
Indi sila makuha nga kamuton lang kundi kinahanglan nga gamitan pa sang gamit nga salsalon ukon kahoy,
kag pagasunugon sila sa lugar nga gintumpukan sa ila.”

Ang Maisog nga mga Tinawo ni David(A)

Amo ini ang maisog nga mga tinawo ni David:

Si Josheb Bashebet nga taga-Takemon, nga amo ang nagapanguna sa tatlo ka maisog nga mga tinawo ni David. Sa isa lang ka inaway, nakapatay siya sang 800 ka tawo paagi sa iya bangkaw.

Ang sunod sa iya amo si Eleazar nga anak ni Dodai nga kaliwat ni Ahoa, nga isa man sa tatlo ka maisog nga mga tinawo ni David. Isa siya sa mga kaupod ni David nga naghangkat sa mga Filistinhon nga nagtipon sa Pas Damim[b] sa pagpakig-away. Nagpalagyo ang mga Israelinhon, 10 pero siya iya nagpabilin kag ginpamatay niya ang mga Filistinhon hasta nga ginkapoy ang iya kamot kag naniskog ini nga daw indi na makabuya sa espada. Ginpadaog sila sang Ginoo sa sadto nga adlaw. Ang nagpalalagyo nga mga Israelinhon nagbalik didto kay Eleazar sa pagpanguha lang sang mga armas sang mga nagkalamatay.

11 Ang sunod pa gid amo si Shama nga anak ni Agee nga taga-Harar. Isa ka tion, nagtipon ang mga Filistinhon sa Lehi, kag ginsalakay nila ang mga Israelinhon sa may uma nga puno sang balatong. Nagpalalagyo ang mga Israelinhon, 12 pero si Shama iya nagpabilin sa tunga sang uma kag ginprotektaran niya ini. Ginpamatay niya ang mga Filistinhon kag ginpadaog sila sang Ginoo sadto nga adlaw.

13 Isa ka tion sang tig-alani, nagkadto kay David ang tatlo niya ka tinawo didto sa kuweba sang Adulam. Ini sila nga tatlo miyembro sang 30 ka maisog nga mga tinawo ni David. Nagakampo sadto ang mga Filistinhon sa Kapatagan sang Refaim 14 kag naagaw nila ang Betlehem. Samtang didto si David sa isa ka mabakod nga palanaguan, 15 gin-uhaw siya. Nagsiling siya, “Maayo kuntani kon may magkuha para sa akon sang tubig nga mainom didto sa bubon malapit sa puwertahan sang Betlehem.” 16 Gani nagsulod sing tago atong tatlo ka maisog nga mga tawo sa kampo sang mga Filistinhon kag nagkuha sila sang tubig sa bubon malapit sa puwertahan sang Betlehem kag gindala kay David. Pero indi mag-inom si David; sa baylo, gin-ula niya ini bilang halad sa Ginoo. 17 Nagsiling siya, “Ginoo, indi ko gid ini mainom tungod kay pareho ini kamahal sa dugo sang mga tawo nga nagtaya sang ila kabuhi sa pagkuha sini.” Gani indi gid mag-inom si David.

Amo ato ang mga ginhimo sang tatlo ka maisog nga mga tinawo ni David.

18 Si Abishai nga utod ni Joab, nga anak ni Zeruya amo ang pangulo sang 30[c] ka maisog nga mga tinawo ni David. Nakapatay siya sang 300 ka Filistinhon paagi sa iya bangkaw. Gani nangin bantog siya pareho sadtong tatlo ka maisog nga mga tawo. 19 Kag tungod nga siya ang pinakabantog sa iya kaupod nga 30,[d] siya ang nangin kumander nila, pero indi siya kaupod sadtong tatlo ka maisog.

20 May isa pa ka maisog nga tawo nga ang iya ngalan si Benaya. Taga-Kabzeel siya, kag ang iya amay amo si Jehoyada. Naghimo siya sang pinasahi nga mga buhat, lakip na ang pagpatay sa duha ka pinakamaayo nga soldado sang Moab. Sa isa man ka tion, ginlagas niya ang isa ka leon. Bisan nagasnow kag madanlog, nagpanaog siya sa buho kag ginpatay niya ang leon. 21 Sa isa pa gid ka tion, ginpatay niya ang isa ka Egiptohanon nga puwerte kadako. Ang armas sang Egiptohanon bangkaw, pero ang iya armas inuglampos lang. Gin-agaw niya ang bangkaw sa Egiptohanon kag amo ini ang ginpatay sa iya. 22 Amo ato ang mga ginhimo ni Benaya nga anak ni Jehoyada. Nangin bantog man siya pareho sa tatlo ka maisog nga mga tawo, 23 pero indi siya bahin nila. Kag tungod nga siya ang pinakabantog sa iya kaupod nga 30, ginhimo siya ni David nga pangulo sang iya mga badigard.

24 Amo ini ang iban nga mga miyembro sang 30 ka maisog nga mga tawo:

si Asahel nga utod ni Joab;

si Elhanan nga anak ni Dodo nga taga-Betlehem;

25 si Shama kag si Elika nga mga taga-Harod;

26 si Helez nga taga-Palti;

si Ira nga anak ni Ikesh nga taga-Tekoa;

28 si Zalmon nga taga-Ahoa;

si Maharai nga taga-Netofa;

29 si Heleb[f] nga anak ni Baanah nga taga-Netofa;

si Itai nga anak ni Ribai nga taga-Gibea, nga sakop sang Benjamin;

30 si Benaya nga taga-Piraton;

si Hidai[g] nga nagaestar malapit sa mga ililigan sang tubig sang Gaash;

31 si Abi Albon nga taga-Araba;

David’s Last Words

23 These are the last words of David:

“The inspired utterance of David son of Jesse,
    the utterance of the man exalted(A) by the Most High,
the man anointed(B) by the God of Jacob,
    the hero of Israel’s songs:

“The Spirit(C) of the Lord spoke through me;
    his word was on my tongue.
The God of Israel spoke,
    the Rock(D) of Israel said to me:
‘When one rules over people in righteousness,(E)
    when he rules in the fear(F) of God,(G)
he is like the light(H) of morning(I) at sunrise(J)
    on a cloudless morning,
like the brightness after rain(K)
    that brings grass from the earth.’

“If my house were not right with God,
    surely he would not have made with me an everlasting covenant,(L)
    arranged and secured in every part;
surely he would not bring to fruition my salvation
    and grant me my every desire.
But evil men are all to be cast aside like thorns,(M)
    which are not gathered with the hand.
Whoever touches thorns
    uses a tool of iron or the shaft of a spear;
    they are burned up where they lie.”

David’s Mighty Warriors(N)

These are the names of David’s mighty warriors:(O)

Josheb-Basshebeth,[a](P) a Tahkemonite,[b] was chief of the Three; he raised his spear against eight hundred men, whom he killed[c] in one encounter.

Next to him was Eleazar son of Dodai(Q) the Ahohite.(R) As one of the three mighty warriors, he was with David when they taunted the Philistines gathered at Pas Dammim[d] for battle. Then the Israelites retreated, 10 but Eleazar stood his ground and struck down the Philistines till his hand grew tired and froze to the sword. The Lord brought about a great victory that day. The troops returned to Eleazar, but only to strip the dead.

11 Next to him was Shammah son of Agee the Hararite. When the Philistines banded together at a place where there was a field full of lentils, Israel’s troops fled from them. 12 But Shammah took his stand in the middle of the field. He defended it and struck the Philistines down, and the Lord brought about a great victory.

13 During harvest time, three of the thirty chief warriors came down to David at the cave of Adullam,(S) while a band of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.(T) 14 At that time David was in the stronghold,(U) and the Philistine garrison was at Bethlehem.(V) 15 David longed for water and said, “Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!” 16 So the three mighty warriors broke through the Philistine lines, drew water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem and carried it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured(W) it out before the Lord. 17 “Far be it from me, Lord, to do this!” he said. “Is it not the blood(X) of men who went at the risk of their lives?” And David would not drink it.

Such were the exploits of the three mighty warriors.

18 Abishai(Y) the brother of Joab son of Zeruiah was chief of the Three.[e] He raised his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed, and so he became as famous as the Three. 19 Was he not held in greater honor than the Three? He became their commander, even though he was not included among them.

20 Benaiah(Z) son of Jehoiada, a valiant fighter from Kabzeel,(AA) performed great exploits. He struck down Moab’s two mightiest warriors. He also went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion. 21 And he struck down a huge Egyptian. Although the Egyptian had a spear in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club. He snatched the spear from the Egyptian’s hand and killed him with his own spear. 22 Such were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada; he too was as famous as the three mighty warriors. 23 He was held in greater honor than any of the Thirty, but he was not included among the Three. And David put him in charge of his bodyguard.

24 Among the Thirty were:

Asahel(AB) the brother of Joab,

Elhanan son of Dodo from Bethlehem,

25 Shammah the Harodite,(AC)

Elika the Harodite,

26 Helez(AD) the Paltite,

Ira(AE) son of Ikkesh from Tekoa,

27 Abiezer(AF) from Anathoth,(AG)

Sibbekai[f] the Hushathite,

28 Zalmon the Ahohite,

Maharai(AH) the Netophathite,(AI)

29 Heled[g](AJ) son of Baanah the Netophathite,

Ithai son of Ribai from Gibeah(AK) in Benjamin,

30 Benaiah the Pirathonite,(AL)

Hiddai[h] from the ravines of Gaash,(AM)

31 Abi-Albon the Arbathite,

Azmaveth the Barhumite,(AN)

32 Eliahba the Shaalbonite,

the sons of Jashen,

Jonathan 33 son of[i] Shammah the Hararite,

Ahiam son of Sharar[j] the Hararite,

34 Eliphelet son of Ahasbai the Maakathite,(AO)

Eliam(AP) son of Ahithophel(AQ) the Gilonite,

35 Hezro the Carmelite,(AR)

Paarai the Arbite,

36 Igal son of Nathan from Zobah,(AS)

the son of Hagri,[k]

37 Zelek the Ammonite,

Naharai the Beerothite,(AT) the armor-bearer of Joab son of Zeruiah,

38 Ira the Ithrite,(AU)

Gareb the Ithrite

39 and Uriah(AV) the Hittite.

There were thirty-seven in all.

23 Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,

The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his word was in my tongue.

The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.

And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.

Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow.

But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:

But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place.

These be the names of the mighty men whom David had: The Tachmonite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite: he lift up his spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time.

And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away:

10 He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword: and the Lord wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil.

11 And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentiles: and the people fled from the Philistines.

12 But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the Lord wrought a great victory.

13 And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines pitched in the valley of Rephaim.

14 And David was then in an hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.

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

16 And the three mighty men 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: nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the Lord.

17 And he said, Be it far from me, O Lord, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.

18 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief among three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred, and slew them, and had the name among three.

19 Was he not most honourable of three? therefore he was their captain: howbeit he attained not unto the first three.

20 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two lionlike men of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow:

21 And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but 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.

22 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among three mighty men.

23 He was more honourable than the thirty, but he attained not to the first three. And David set him over his guard.

24 Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

25 Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite,

26 Helez the Paltite, Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite,

27 Abiezer the Anethothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite,

28 Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite,

29 Heleb the son of Baanah, a Netophathite, Ittai the son of Ribai out of Gibeah of the children of Benjamin,

30 Benaiah the Pirathonite, Hiddai of the brooks of Gaash,

31 Abialbon the Arbathite, Azmaveth the Barhumite,

32 Eliahba the Shaalbonite, of the sons of Jashen, Jonathan,

33 Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam the son of Sharar the Hararite,
