The list of David’s most mighty warriors

The list of David’s most mighty warriors

10Yahweh had promised that David would become the king. And all the Israeli people were happy that David was/supported David as► their king.

There were many soldiers/warriors who helped David’s kingdom to remain strong. 11This is a list of the leaders of David’s most mighty warriors:

Jashobeam was from the Hacmon clan. He was one of the leaders of David’s most powerful soldiers. One time he fought against 300 enemies and killed them all with his spear.

12Another one was Eleazar, who was the son of Dodo from the clan of Ahoh. 13One day he was with David at Pas Dammim when the soldiers of Philistia gathered there for the battle. There was a field of barley there. At first the Israeli soldiers ran away from the soldiers of Philistia, 14but then David and Eleazar stopped in the middle of the field and fought to defend it and killed many of the soldiers of Philistia. Yahweh enabled them to win a great victory on that day.

15One time three of David’s thirty most mighty warriors came to David when he was camping next to the huge rock outside the cave near Adullam. At that same time, the army of Philistia had camped in the Rephaim Valley. 16David was in a fortress, and some of the soldiers of Philistia were occupying Bethlehem. 17One day David was very thirsty and said, “I wish that someone would bring me some water from the well near the gate at Bethlehem!” 18So those three most outstanding warriors forced their way through the camp of Philistia soldiers and drew some water from the well, and brought it to David. But he would not drink it. Instead, he poured it out on the ground to be an offering to Yahweh. 19He said, “Yahweh, it would certainly not be right for me to drink this water! That would be like [RHQ] drinking the blood of these men who were willing/ready to die for me!” So he refused to drink it.

That was one of the things that those three most outstanding warriors did.

20Joab’s younger brother Abishai was the leader of the 30 most mighty warriors. One time Abishai fought 300 enemy soldiers with his spear and killed them. 21So he became as famous as those three most outstanding warriors. He became their commander, even though he was not one of those three men.

22Jehoiada’s son Benaiah was a brave soldier from Kabzeel town who did heroic deeds. He killed two of the best warriors from the Moab people-group. One day he went down into a pit when snow was falling on the ground and killed a lion there. 23He also killed a soldier from Egypt who was 7-1/2 feet/2.3 meters► tall. The soldier from Egypt carried a spear that was as long as a weaver’s rod. Benaiah had only a club, but he grabbed the other man’s spear and killed him with it. 24Those are some of the things that Benaiah did. So he became as famous as the three mighty warriors. 25He was more honored than the other members of the group of thirty most mighty warriors, but he did not become a member of the group of three most outstanding warriors. David appointed him to be the leader of his bodyguards.
