These are the last words of David: “David, the son of Jesse, speaks — David, the man who was raised up so high, David, the man anointed by the God of Jacob, David, the sweet psalmist of Israel.a
— Пророчество Давида, сына Иессея, пророчество человека, вознесенного Всевышним,101 человека, помазанного Богом Иакова, и сладкоголосого певца Израиля:
“Is it not my family God has chosen? Yes, he has made an everlasting covenant with me. His agreement is arranged and guaranteed in every detail. He will ensure my safety and success.
Разве не таков дом мой у Бога? Разве Он не заключил со мной вечный завет, полностью устроенный и непреложный? Разве не от Него все мое спасение и все мои желания?
These are the names of David’s mightiest warriors. The first was Jashobeam the Hacmonite,b who was leader of the Threec — the three mightiest warriors among David’s men. He once used his spear to kill 800 enemy warriors in a single battle.d
Вот имена воинов Давида: Тахмонитянин Иошев-Башевет был главой троих103; он поднял свое копье104 на восемьсот человек, которых он убил в одной схватке.
Next in rank among the Three was Eleazar son of Dodai, a descendant of Ahoah. Once Eleazar and David stood together against the Philistines when the entire Israelite army had fled.
He killed Philistines until his hand was too tired to lift his sword, and the LORD gave him a great victory that day. The rest of the army did not return until it was time to collect the plunder!
Израильтяне вышли против них, и он проявил храбрость и разил филистимлян, пока его рука не устала и не прилипла к мечу. В тот день Господь одержал105 великую победу. Только после битвы воины вернулись к Элеазару, но лишь для того, чтобы обирать убитых.
Next in rank was Shammah son of Agee from Harar. One time the Philistines gathered at Lehi and attacked the Israelites in a field full of lentils. The Israelite army fled,
Once during the harvest, when David was at the cave of Adullam, the Philistine army was camped in the valley of Rephaim. The Three (who were among the Thirty — an elite group among David’s fighting men) went down to meet him there.
So the Three broke through the Philistine lines, drew some water from the well by the gate in Bethlehem, and brought it back to David. But he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out as an offering to the LORD.
Тогда те трое воинов пробились через филистимский лагерь, зачерпнули воды из колодца у вифлеемских ворот и принесли Давиду. Но он отказался пить и вылил воду как приношение Господу.
“The LORD forbid that I should drink this!” he exclaimed. “This water is as precious as the blood of these menf who risked their lives to bring it to me.” So David did not drink it. These are examples of the exploits of the Three.
— Сохрани меня, Господи, сделать это! — сказал он. — Разве я стану пить кровь людей, которые рисковали своей жизнью?! И он не стал пить. Такие подвиги совершили трое этих воинов.
Abishai son of Zeruiah, the brother of Joab, was the leader of the Thirty.g He once used his spear to kill 300 enemy warriors in a single battle. It was by such feats that he became as famous as the Three.
There was also Benaiah son of Jehoiada, a valiant warriori from Kabzeel. He did many heroic deeds, which included killing two championsj of Moab. Another time, on a snowy day, he chased a lion down into a pit and killed it.
Беная, сын Иодая, был доблестным воином109 из Кавцеила, совершившим великие подвиги. Он сразил двух сильнейших воинов110 из Моава. Еще он спустился в ров в снежный день и убил там льва.
Once, armed only with a club, he killed an imposing Egyptian warrior who was armed with a spear. Benaiah wrenched the spear from the Egyptian’s hand and killed him with it.
Он также сразил огромного111 египтянина. У египтянина в руке было копье, а Беная вышел против него с палкой. Он вырвал копье из руки египтянина и убил его этим же копьем.
