Shimei son of Ela, in Benjamin;

These are the names of David’s warriors: Josheb-basshebeth the Tahchemonite was chief of the officers. He wielded his spear against 800 men that he killed at one time.After him, Eleazar son of Dodo son of an Ahohite was among the three warriors with David when they defied the Philistines. The men of Israel retreated in the place they had gathered for battle,but Eleazar stood his ground and attacked the Philistines until his hand was tired and stuck to his sword. The Lord brought about a great victory that day. Then the troops came back to him, but only to plunder the dead.After him was Shammah son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines had assembled in formation where there was a field full of lentils. The troops fled from the Philistines,but Shammah took his stand in the middle of the field, defended it, and struck down the Philistines. So the Lord brought about a great victory.Three of the 30 leading warriors went down at harvest time and came to David at the cave of Adullam, while a company of Philistines was camping in the Valley of Rephaim.At that time David was in the stronghold, and a Philistine garrison was at Bethlehem.David was extremely thirsty and said,“ If only someone would bring me water to drink from the well at the city gate of Bethlehem!”So three of the warriors broke through the Philistine camp and drew water from the well at the gate of Bethlehem. They brought it back to David, but he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out to the Lord.David said,“ Lord, I would never do such a thing! Is this not the blood of men who risked their lives?” So he refused to drink it. Such were the exploits of the three warriors.Abishai, Joab’s brother and son of Zeruiah, was leader of the Three. He raised his spear against 300 men and killed them, gaining a reputation among the Three.Was he not more honored than the Three? He became their commander even though he did not become one of the Three.Benaiah son of Jehoiada was the son of a brave man from Kabzeel, a man of many exploits. Benaiah killed two sons of Ariel of Moab, and he went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion.He also killed an Egyptian, a huge man. Even though the Egyptian had a spear in his hand, Benaiah went down to him with a club, snatched the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and then killed him with his own spear.These were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who had a reputation among the three warriors.He was the most honored of the Thirty, but he did not become one of the Three. David put him in charge of his bodyguard.Among the Thirty were: Joab’s brother Asahel, Elhanan son of Dodo of Bethlehem,Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite,Helez the Paltite, Ira son of Ikkesh the Tekoite,Abiezer the Anathothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite,Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite,Heleb son of Baanah the Netophahite, Ittai son of Ribai from Gibeah of the Benjaminites,Benaiah the Pirathonite, Hiddai from the wadis of Gaash,Abi-albon the Arbathite, Azmaveth the Barhumite,Eliahba the Shaalbonite, the sons of Jashen, Jonathan son ofShammah the Hararite, Ahiam son of Sharar the Hararite,Eliphelet son of Ahasbai son of the Maacathite, Eliam son of Ahithophel the Gilonite,Hezro the Carmelite, Paarai the Arbite,Igal son of Nathan from Zobah, Bani the Gadite,Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Beerothite, the armor-bearer for Joab son of Zeruiah,Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite,and Uriah the Hittite. There were 37 in all.

Sheva was court secretary; Zadok and Abiathar were priests;

the family of Levi’s house by itself and their women by themselves; the family of Shimei by itself and their women by themselves;

“ But the Levitical priests descended from Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary when the Israelites went astray from Me, will approach Me to serve Me. They will stand before Me to offer Me fat and blood.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.

The third army commander, as chief for the third month, was Benaiah son of Jehoiada the priest; 24,000 were in his division.This Benaiah was a mighty man among the Thirty and over the Thirty, and his son Ammizabad was in charge of his division.

the king said to Nathan the prophet,“ Look, I am living in a cedar house while the ark of God sits inside tent curtains.”So Nathan told the king,“ Go and do all that is on your heart, for the Lord is with you.”But that night the word of the Lord came to Nathan:

So the Lord sent Nathan to David. When he arrived, he said to him: There were two men in a certain city, one rich and the other poor.The rich man had a large number of sheep and cattle,but the poor man had nothing except one small ewe lamb that he had bought. He raised it, and it grew up, living with him and his children. It shared his meager food and drank from his cup; it slept in his arms, and it was like a daughter to him.Now a traveler came to the rich man, but the rich man could not bring himself to take one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare for the traveler who had come to him. Instead, he took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for his guest.David was infuriated with the man and said to Nathan:“ As the Lord lives, the man who did this deserves to die!Because he has done this thing and shown no pity, he must pay four lambs for that lamb.”Nathan replied to David,“ You are the man! This is what the Lord God of Israel says:‘ I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul.I gave your master’s house to you and your master’s wives into your arms, and I gave you the house of Israel and Judah, and if that was not enough, I would have given you even more.Why then have you despised the command of the Lord by doing what I consider evil? You struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and took his wife as your own wife— you murdered him with the Ammonite’s sword.Now therefore, the sword will never leave your house because you despised Me and took the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own wife.’“ This is what the Lord says,‘ I am going to bring disaster on you from your own family: I will take your wives and give them to another before your very eyes, and he will sleep with them publicly.You acted in secret, but I will do this before all Israel and in broad daylight.’”David responded to Nathan,“ I have sinned against the Lord.” Then Nathan replied to David,“ The Lord has taken away your sin; you will not die.However, because you treated the Lord with such contempt in this matter, the son born to you will die.”Then Nathan went home. The Lord struck the baby that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and he became ill.

Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Seraiah was court secretary;Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief officials.

Then the king appointed Benaiah son of Jehoiada in Joab’s place over the army, and he appointed Zadok the priest in Abiathar’s place.

The following were the chiefs of David’s warriors who, together with all Israel, strongly supported him in his reign to make him king according to the Lord’s word about Israel.This is the list of David’s warriors: Jashobeam son of Hachmoni was chief of the Thirty; he wielded his spear against 300 and killed them at one time.After him, Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite was one of the three warriors.He was with David at Pas-dammim when the Philistines had gathered there for battle. There was a portion of a field full of barley, where the troops had fled from the Philistines.But Eleazar and David took their stand in the middle of the field and defended it. They killed the Philistines, and the Lord gave them a great victory.Three of the 30 chief men went down to David, to the rock at the cave of Adullam, while the Philistine army was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.At that time David was in the stronghold, and a Philistine garrison was at Bethlehem.David was extremely thirsty and said,“ If only someone would bring me water to drink from the well at the city gate of Bethlehem!”So the Three broke through the Philistine camp and drew water from the well at the gate of Bethlehem. They brought it back to David, but he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out to the Lord.David said,“ I would never do such a thing in the presence of God! How can I drink the blood of these men who risked their lives?” For they brought it at the risk of their lives. So he would not drink it. Such were the exploits of the three warriors.Abishai, Joab’s brother, was the leader of the Three. He raised his spear against 300 men and killed them, gaining a reputation among the Three.He was more honored than the Three and became their commander even though he did not become one of the Three.Benaiah son of Jehoiada was the son of a brave man from Kabzeel, a man of many exploits. Benaiah killed two sons of Ariel of Moab, and he went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion.He also killed an Egyptian who was seven and a half feet tall. Even though the Egyptian had a spear in his hand like a weaver’s beam, Benaiah went down to him with a club, snatched the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and then killed him with his own spear.These were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who had a reputation among the three warriors.He was the most honored of the Thirty, but he did not become one of the Three. David put him in charge of his bodyguard.The fighting men were: Joab’s brother Asahel, Elhanan son of Dodo of Bethlehem,Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite,Ira son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abiezer the Anathothite,Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite,Maharai the Netophathite, Heled son of Baanah the Netophathite,Ithai son of Ribai from Gibeah of the Benjaminites, Benaiah the Pirathonite,Hurai from the wadis of Gaash, Abiel the Arbathite,Azmaveth the Baharumite, Eliahba the Shaalbonite,the sons of Hashem the Gizonite, Jonathan son of Shagee the Hararite,Ahiam son of Sachar the Hararite, Eliphal son of Ur,Hepher the Mecherathite, Ahijah the Pelonite,Hezro the Carmelite, Naarai son of Ezbai,Joel the brother of Nathan, Mibhar son of Hagri,Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Beerothite, the armor-bearer for Joab son of Zeruiah,Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite,Uriah the Hittite, Zabad son of Ahlai,Adina son of Shiza the Reubenite, chief of the Reubenites, and 30 with him,Hanan son of Maacah, Joshaphat the Mithnite,Uzzia the Ashterathite, Shama and Jeiel the sons of Hotham the Aroerite,Jediael son of Shimri and his brother Joha the Tizite,Eliel the Mahavite, Jeribai and Joshaviah, the sons of Elnaam, Ithmah the Moabite,Eliel, Obed, and Jaasiel the Mezobaite.
