2 Samuel 18:2New Messianic Version BibleAnd David [beloved] sent forth a third part of the people under the hand of Yo’av [Yehovah is father], and a third part under the hand of Avishai [my father is a gift] the son of Tz’ruyah [balsam], Yo’av [Yehovah is father]’s brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai [with me] the Gitti [belonging to Gat (winepress)]. And the king said unto the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also. See the chapter |
And it was [so] on the morrow, that Sha’ul [desired] put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the morning watch, and killed the ‘Amon [Inbred] until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
Then tidings came to Yo’av [Yehovah is father]: for Yo’av [Yehovah is father] had turned after Adoniyah [my lord is Yehovah], though he turned not after Avshalom [my father is peace]. And Yo’av [Yehovah is father] fled unto the tabernacle of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
But Avishai [my father is a gift] the son of Tz’ruyah [balsam] succored him, and struck the P’lishtim [immigrants], and killed him. Then the men of David [beloved] swore unto him, saying, youi shall go no more out with us to battle, that youi quench not the light of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
