Chronicles Chapter Eleven
New King James Version (NKJV)
INTRODUCTION TO 1 CHRONICLES 11
This
chapter treats of David's being anointed king by all Israel
1 Chronicles 11:1
which agrees with 2 Samuel 5:1 See
Gill on 2 Samuel 5:1 See
Gill on 2 Samuel 5:2 See
Gill on 2 Samuel 5:3 and of
his taking Jerusalem from the Jebusites
1 Chronicles 11:4
the account of which we have 2 Samuel 5:6. See
Gill on 2 Samuel 5:6 See
Gill on 2 Samuel 5:7 See
Gill on 2 Samuel 5:8 See
Gill on 2 Samuel 5:9 See
Gill on 2 Samuel 5:10 only
here we are told
that it was Joab that smote the Jebusites first
and so was
made chief captain according to David's promise; and that he also repaired the
rest of the city David built round about; perhaps the fortifications demolished
in taking it
1 Chronicles 11:6
or rather
as others give the sense
he "saved alive"F2יחיה את שאר
"vivas conservavit urbis reliquias"
Junius & Tremellius;
Strigelius in Poli Synops. in loc. those that remained in the city
after he
had slain the lame and the blind; though a learnedF4Dr. Kennicot's
State of the Hebrew Text
dissert. 1. p. 54. writer conjectures it should be
read
"and Joab יהיה was made שר the governor of the city"; and the Targum
is
"Joab governed the rest of the city.'And then follows an account of
David's mighty men and worthies

of whom we know no more than their names.
1 Chronicles
11:1 Then all Israel
came together to David at Hebron
saying
“Indeed we are your bone and
your flesh.
YLT
1And gathered are all Israel
unto David to Hebron
saying
`Lo
thy bone and thy flesh [are] we;
1 Chronicles
11:2 2 Also
in time past
even when Saul was king
you were the one who led Israel
out and brought them in; and the Lord your God said to you
‘You shall shepherd My people Israel
and be ruler over My people Israel.’”
YLT
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.'
1 Chronicles
11:3 3 Therefore
all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron
and David made a covenant
with them at Hebron before the Lord. And they anointed David
king over Israel
according to the word of the Lord by Samuel.
YLT
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.
1 Chronicles 11:4 4 And David and all Israel
went to Jerusalem
which is Jebus
where the Jebusites were
the
inhabitants of the land.
YLT
4And David goeth
and all
Israel
to Jerusalem -- it [is] Jebus -- and there the Jebusite
the
inhabitants of the land.
1 Chronicles 11:5 5 But the inhabitants of
Jebus said to David
“You shall not come in here!” Nevertheless David took the
stronghold of Zion (that is
the City of David).
YLT
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.
1 Chronicles 11:6 6 Now David said
“Whoever
attacks the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.” And Joab the son of
Zeruiah went up first
and became chief.
YLT
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.
1 Chronicles 11:7 7 Then David dwelt in the
stronghold; therefore they called it the City of David.
YLT
7And David dwelleth in the
fortress
therefore they have called it
`City of David;'
1 Chronicles 11:8 8 And he built the city
around it
from the Millo[a] to the
surrounding area. Joab repaired the rest of the city.
YLT
8and he buildeth the city
round about
from Millo
and unto the circumference
and Joab restoreth the
rest of the city.
1 Chronicles 11:9 9 So David went on and became
great
and the Lord
of hosts was with him.
YLT
9And David goeth
going on
and becoming great
and Jehovah of Hosts [is] with him.
1 Chronicles 11:10 10 Now these were the
heads of the mighty men whom David had
who strengthened themselves with him in
his kingdom
with all Israel
to make him king
according to the word of the Lord concerning
Israel.
YLT
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.
1 Chronicles 11:11 11 And this is the
number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam the son of a Hachmonite
chief of the captains;[b] he had
lifted up his spear against three hundred
killed by him at one time.
YLT
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.
1 Chronicles 11:12 12 After him was
Eleazar the son of Dodo
the Ahohite
who was one of the three mighty
men.
YLT
12And after him [is] Eleazar
son of Dodo the Ahohite
he [is] among the three mighty;
1 Chronicles 11:13 13 He was with David at
Pasdammim. Now there the Philistines were gathered for battle
and there was a
piece of ground full of barley. So the people fled from the Philistines.
YLT
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
1 Chronicles 11:14 14 But they stationed
themselves in the middle of that field
defended it
and killed the
Philistines. So the Lord
brought about a great victory.
YLT
14and they station themselves
in the midst of the portion
and deliver it
and smite the Philistines
and
Jehovah saveth -- a great salvation.
1 Chronicles 11:15 15 Now three of the thirty
chief men went down to the rock to David
into the cave of Adullam; and the
army of the Philistines encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.
YLT
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
1 Chronicles 11:16 16 David was then in
the stronghold
and the garrison of the Philistines was then in
Bethlehem.
YLT
16and David [is] then in the
fortress
and the station of the Philistines [is] then in Beth-Lehem
1 Chronicles 11:17 17 And David said with
longing
“Oh
that someone would give me a drink of water from the well of
Bethlehem
which is by the gate!”
YLT
17and David longeth
and
saith
`Who doth give me to drink water from the well of Beth-Lehem
that [is]
at the gate!'
1 Chronicles 11:18 18 So the three broke through
the camp of the Philistines
drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was
by the gate
and took it and brought it to David. Nevertheless
David would not drink it
but poured it out to the Lord.
YLT
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
1 Chronicles 11:19 19 And he said
“Far be it
from me
O my God
that I should do this! Shall I drink the blood of these men who
have put their lives in jeopardy? For at the risk of their lives
they brought it.” Therefore he would not drink it. These things were done by
the three mighty men.
YLT
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.
1 Chronicles 11:20 20 Abishai the brother of
Joab was chief of another three.[c] He had
lifted up his spear against three hundred men
killed them
and
won a name among these three.
YLT
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.
1 Chronicles 11:21 21 Of the three he was more
honored than the other two men. Therefore he became their captain. However he
did not attain to the first three.
YLT
21Of the three by the two he
is honoured
and becometh their head; and unto the [first] three he hath not
come.
1 Chronicles 11:22 22 Benaiah was the son of
Jehoiada
the son of a valiant man from Kabzeel
who had done many deeds. He
had killed two lion-like heroes of Moab. He also had gone down and killed a
lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.
YLT
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.
1 Chronicles 11:23 23 And he killed an Egyptian
a man of great height
five cubits tall. In the Egyptian’s hand there
was a spear like a weaver’s beam; and he went down to him with a staff
wrested the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand
and killed him with his own
spear.
YLT
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.
1 Chronicles 11:24 24 These things
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did
and won a name among three mighty men.
YLT
24These [things] hath Benaiah
son of Jehoiada done
and hath a name among the three mighty ones.
1 Chronicles 11:25 25 Indeed he was more honored
than the thirty
but he did not attain to the first three. And David
appointed him over his guard.
YLT
25Of the thirty
lo
he [is]
honoured
and unto the [first] three he hath not come
and David setteth him
over his guard.
