In the past,a even when Saul was king, you were the one who really led the forces of Israel. And the LORD your God told you, ‘You will be the shepherd of my people Israel. You will be the leader of my people Israel.’”
Даже прежде, когда нашим царем был Саул, ты водил израильтян в бой. И Господь, твой Бог, сказал тебе: «Ты будешь пасти Мой народ, Израиль, и станешь его правителем».
So there at Hebron, David made a covenant before the LORD with all the elders of Israel. And they anointed him king of Israel, just as the LORD had promised through Samuel.
Когда все старейшины Израиля пришли к царю Давиду в Хеврон, он заключил с ними в Хевроне союз перед Господом, и они помазали72 Давида в цари над Израилем, как и обещал через Самуила Господь.
Then David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (or Jebus, as it used to be called), where the Jebusites, the original inhabitants of the land, were living.
David had said to his troops, “Whoever is first to attack the Jebusites will become the commander of my armies!” And Joab, the son of David’s sister Zeruiah, was first to attack, so he became the commander of David’s armies.
These are the leaders of David’s mighty warriors. Together with all Israel, they decided to make David their king, just as the LORD had promised concerning Israel.
Here is the record of David’s mightiest warriors: The first was Jashobeam the Hacmonite, who was leader of the Three — the mightiest warriors among David’s men.c He once used his spear to kill 300 enemy warriors in a single battle.
He was with David when the Philistines gathered for battle at Pas-dammim and attacked the Israelites in a field full of barley. The Israelite army fled,
Он был с Давидом в Пас-Даммиме,76 когда филистимляне собрались там для битвы. Там было поле, засеянное ячменем. Войско стало разбегаться перед филистимлянами,
but Eleazar and Davide held their ground in the middle of the field and beat back the Philistines. So the LORD saved them by giving them a great victory.
Once when David was at the rock near 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 David refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out as an offering to the LORD.
Тогда те трое пробились через филистимский лагерь, зачерпнули воды из колодца у вифлеемских ворот и принесли Давиду. Но он отказался пить и вылил воду как приношение Господу.
“God 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 Бог сделать это! — сказал он. — Разве я стану пить кровь этих людей? Ведь они принесли воду, рискуя своей жизнью! И он не стал пить. Такие подвиги совершили трое этих воинов.
Abishai, 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 warrior from Kabzeel. He did many heroic deeds, which included killing two championsh of Moab. Another time, on a snowy day, he chased a lion down into a pit and killed it.
Беная, сын Иодая, был доблестным воином из Кавцеила, совершившим великие подвиги. Он сразил двух сильнейших воинов78 из Моава. Еще он спустился в ров в снежный день и убил там льва.
Once, armed only with a club, he killed an Egyptian warrior who was 7 1/2 feeti tall and who was armed with a spear as thick as a weaver’s beam. Benaiah wrenched the spear from the Egyptian’s hand and killed him with it.
Он также сразил огромного египтянина, который был пяти локтей79 ростом. У египтянина в руке было копье, большое, как ткацкий навой, а Беная вышел против него с палкой Он вырвал копье из руки египтянина и убил его этим же копьем.
