2 Samuel 23 - The Scriptures 19981 And these are the last words of Dawiḏ 2 “The Spirit of יהוה has spoken through me, And His word is on my tongue. 3 “The Elohim of Yisra’ĕ 4 “Who rules in the fear of Elohim, Is like the light of the morning when the sun rises, A morning without clouds, Tender grass from the earth From sunshine, from rain.’ 5 “For is not my house so with Ě 6 “But the worthless are all as thorns thrust away, For they are not taken with hands, 7 “But the man who touches them Uses iron or the shaft of a spear, And with fire they are burned up in their place.” 8 These are the names of the mighty men whom Dawiḏ 9 And after him was Elʽ 10 He arose and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, but his hand clung to the sword, so יהוה brought about a great deliverance that day. And the people returned after him only to plunder. 11 And after him was Shammah son of Agĕ 12 But he took his stand in the middle of the field, and delivered it, and smote the Philistines, and יהוה wrought a great deliverance. 13 And three of the thirty chief men went down at harvest time and came to Dawiḏ 14 And Dawiḏ 15 And Dawiḏ 16 And the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water from the well of Bĕ 17 And he said, “Far be it from me, O יהוה, to do this – the blood of the men who went at the risk of their lives!” So he would not drink it. This is what the three mighty men did. 18 And Aḇ 19 Was he not the most esteemed of three? And he became their commander, but he did not come to the first three. 20 And Benayahu was the son of Yehoyaḏ 21 And he smote a Mitsrite, an impressive man. And the Mitsrite had a spear in his hand, so he went down to him with a staff, wrested the spear out of the Mitsrite’s hand, and slew him with his own spear. 22 This is what Benayahu son of Yehoyaḏ 23 He was more esteemed than the thirty, but he did not come to the first three.
