2 Samuel 23
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Καὶ οὗτοι οἱ λόγοι Δαυεὶδ οἱ ἔσχατοι Πιστὸς Δαυεὶδ υἱὸς Ἰεσσαί, καὶ πιστὸς ἀνὴρ ὃν ἀνέστησεν Κύριος ἐπὶ χριστὸν θεοῦ Ἰακώβ, καὶ εὐπρεπεῖς ψαλμοὶ Ἰσραήλ.
These are the last words of David: “The oracle of David son of Jesse, the oracle of the man raised on high, the one anointed by the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel (note: Or the hero of the songs of Israel or the favorite of the Strong One of Israel):
πνεῦμα Κυρίου ἐλάλησεν ἐν ἐμοί, καὶ ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ γλώσσης μου.
The Spirit of the LORD spoke through me; His word was on my tongue.
λέγει ὁ θεὸς Ἰσραήλ· ἐμοὶ ἐλάλησεν φύλαξ ἐξ Ἰσραήλ Παραβολὴν εἰπόν Ἐν ἀνθρώπῳ πῶς κραταιώσητε φόβον χριστοῦ;
The God of Israel spoke; the Rock of Israel said to me, ‘He who rules the people with justice, who rules in the fear of God,
καὶ ἐν θεῷ φωτὶ πρωίας ἀνατείλαι ἥλιος, τὸ πρωὶ οὐ Κύριος παρῆλθεν ἐκ φέγγους· καὶ ὡς ἐξ ὑετοῦ χλόης ἀπὸ γῆς.
is like the light of the morning at sunrise of a cloudless dawn, the glistening after the rain on the sprouting grass of the earth.’
οὐ γὰρ οὗτος ὁ οἶκός μου μετὰ Ἰσχυροῦ; διαθήκην γὰρ αἰώνιον ἔθετό μοι, ἑτοίμην ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ, πεφυλαγμένην, ὅτι πᾶσα σωτηρία μου καὶ πᾶν θέλημα· ὅτι οὐ μὴ βλαστήσῃ ὁ παράνομος.
Is not my house right with God? For He has established with me an everlasting covenant, ordered and secured in every part. Will He not bring about my full salvation and my every desire?
ὥσπερ ἄκανθα ἐξωσμένη πάντες οὖτοι, ὅτι οὐ χειρὶ λημφθήσονται·
But the worthless are all like thorns raked aside, for they can never be gathered by hand.
καὶ ἀνὴρ οὐ κοπιάσει ἐν αὐτοῖς· καὶ πλῆρες σιδήρου καὶ ξύλον δόρατος, καὶ ἐν πυρὶ καύσει, καὶ θήσονται αἰσχύνην αὐτων.
The man who touches them must be armed with iron or with the shaft of a spear. The fire burns them to ashes in the place where they lie.”
Ταπῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν δυνατῶν Δαυείδ· Ἰεβόσθε ὁ Χαναναῖος ἄρχων τοῦ τρίτου ἐστίν· Ἀδεινὼν ὁ Ἀσωναῖος, οὖτος ἐσπάσατο τὴν ῥομφαίαν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ ὀκτακοςίους στρατιώτας εἰς ἅπαξ.
These are the names of David’s mighty men: Josheb-basshebeth the Tahchemonite (note: Tahchemonite is probably a variant of Hachmonite; see 1 Chronicles 11:11.) was chief of the Three (note: Or chief among the captains). He wielded his spear against (note: Some LXX manuscripts (see also 1 Chronicles 11:11); Hebrew He was called Adino the Eznite because of) eight hundred men, whom he killed at one time.
καὶ μετ’αὐτὸν Ἐλεανὰν υἱὸς πατραδέλφου αὐτοῦ, υἱὸς Σουσεὶ τοῦ ἐν τοῖς τριςὶν δυνατοῖς μετὰ Δαυείδ· καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀνειδίσαι αὐτὸν ἐν τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις συνήχθησαν ἐκεῖ εἰς πόλεμον, καὶ ἀνεβόησεν ἀνὴρ Ἰσραήλ.
Next in command was Eleazar son of Dodo (note: Dodo is a variant of Dodai; see 1 Chronicles 27:4.) the Ahohite. As one of the three mighty men, he went with David to taunt the Philistines who had gathered for battle at Pas-dammim. The men of Israel retreated,
αὐτὸς ἀνέστη καὶ προσεκολλήθη ἡ χεὶρ αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὴν μάχαιραν· καὶ ἐποίησεν Κύριος σωτηρίαν μεγάλην ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ ὁ λαὸς ἐκάθητο ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ πλὴν ἐκδιδύσκειν.
but Eleazar stood his ground and struck the Philistines until his hand grew weary and stuck to his sword. The LORD brought about a great victory that day. Then the troops returned to him, but only to plunder the dead.
καὶ μετ’ αὐτὸν Σαμαιὰ μἱὸς Ἀσὰ ὁ Ἁρουχαῖος· καὶ συνήχθησαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι εἰς θηρία, καὶ ἦν ἐκεῖ μερὶς τοῦ ἀγροῦ πλήρης φακοῦ, καὶ ὁ λαὸς ἔφυγεν ἐκ προςώπου ἀλλοθύλων.
And after him was Shammah son of Agee the Hararite. When the Philistines had banded together near a field full of lentils, Israel’s troops fled from them.
καὶ ἐστηλώθη ἐν μέσῳ τῆς μερίδος, καὶ ἐξείλατο αὐτὴν καὶ ἐπάταξεν τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους, καὶ ἐποίησεν Κύριος σωτηρίαν μεγάλην.
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.
Καὶ κατέβησαν τρεῖς ἀπὸ τῶν τριάκοντα καὶ κατέβησαν εἰς Καδὼν πρὸς Δαυεὶδ εἰς τὸ σπήλαιον Ὀδολλάμ· καὶ τάγμα τῶν ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι Ῥαφαείμ.
At harvest time, three of the thirty chief men went down to David at the cave of Adullam, while a company of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.
καὶ Δαυεὶδ τότε ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ, καὶ τὸ ὑπόστημα τῶν ἀλλοφύλων τότε ἐν Βαιθλέεμ.
At that time David was in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was at Bethlehem.
καὶ ἐπεθύμησεν Δαυεὶδ καὶ εἶπεν Τίς ποτιεῖ με ὕδωρ ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου τοῦ ἐν Βαιθλέεμ τοῦ ἐν τῇ πύλῃ ; τὸ δὲ σύστεμα τῶν ἀλλοφύλων τότε ἐν Βαιθλέεμ.
David longed for water and said, “Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!”
καὶ διέρρηξαν οἱ τρεῖς δυνατοὶ ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ὑδρεύσαντο ὕδωρ ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου τοῦ ἐν Βαιθλέεμ τοῦ ἐν τῇ πύλῃ, καὶ ἔλαβαν καὶ παρεγένοντο πρὸς Δαυείδ, καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν πιεῖν αὐτό· καὶ ἔσπεισεν αὐτὸ τῷ κυρίῳ
So the three mighty men broke through the Philistine camp, drew water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem, and brought it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out to the LORD,
καὶ εἶπεν Ἵλεώς μοι, Κύριε, τοῦ ποιῆσαι τοῦτο· εἰ αἷμα τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν πορευθέντων ἐν ταῖς ψυχαῖς αὐτῶν πίομαι; καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν πιεῖν αὐτό. ταῦτα ἐποίησαν οἱ τρεῖς δυνατοί.
saying, “Far be it from me, O LORD, to do this! Is this not the blood of the men who risked their lives?” So he refused to drink it. Such were the exploits of the three mighty men.
καὶ Ἀβεισὰ ἀδελφὸς Ἰωάβ, υἱὸς Σαρουίας, αὐτὸς ἄρχων ἐν τοῖς τριςίν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐξήγειρεν τὸ δόρυ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τριακοςίους τραυματίας· καὶ αὐτῷ ὄνομα ἐν τοῖς τρισίν·
Now Abishai, the brother of Joab and son of Zeruiah, was chief of the Three (note: Most Hebrew manuscripts (see also 1 Chronicles 11:20); two Hebrew manuscripts and Syriac the Thirty), and he wielded his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name along with the Three.
ἐκ τῶν τριῶν ἐκείνων ἔνδοξος, καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῖς εἰς ἄρχοντας, καὶ ἕως τῶν τριῶν οὐκ ἦλθε.
Was he not more honored than the Three (note: Hebrew; Syriac the Thirty)? And he became their commander, even though he was not included among the Three.
καὶ Βαναίας υἱὸς Ἰωδᾶε, ἀνὴρ αὐτὸς πολλοστὸς ἔργοις ἀπὸ Καβεσεήλ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπάπαξεν τοὺς δύο υἱοὺς Ἀριὴλ τοῦ Μωάβ· καὶ αὐτὸς κατέβη καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν λέοντα ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ λάκκου ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς χιόνος.
And Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a man of valor (note: Or Benaiah son of Jehoiada was the son of Ishhai) from Kabzeel, a man of many exploits. He struck down two champions (note: Or two sons of Ariel) of Moab, and on a snowy day he went down into a pit and killed a lion.
αὐτὸς ἐπάταξεν τὸν ἄνδρα τὸν Αἰγύπτιον, ἄνδρα ὁρατόν· ἐν δὲ τῇ χειρὶ τοῦ Αἰγυπτίου δόρυ ὡς ξύλον διαβάθρας· καὶ κατέβη πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ δόρατι καὶ ἥρπασεν τὸ δόρυ ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ Αἰγυπτίου, καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ δόρατι αὐτοῦ.
He also struck down an Egyptian, a huge man. Although the Egyptian had a spear in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club, snatched the spear from his hand, and killed the Egyptian with his own spear.
ταῦτα ἐποίησεν Βαναίας υἱὸς Ἰωδᾶε, καὶ αὐτῷ ὄνομα ἐν τοῖς τρισὶν τοῖς δυνατοῖς·
These were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who won a name along with the three mighty men.
ἐκ τῶν τριῶν ἔνδοξος, καὶ πρὸς τοὺς τρεῖς οὐκ ἦλθεν, καὶ ἔταξεν αὐτὸν Δαυεὶδ εἰς τὰς ἀκοὰς αὐτοῦ. Καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν δυνατῶν Δαυεὶδ βασιλέως.
He was most honored among the Thirty, but he did not become one of the Three. And David appointed him over his guard.
Ἀσαὴλ ἀδελφὸς Ἰωάβ, οὗτος ἐν τοῖς τριάκοντα· Ἐλεανὰν υἱὸς Δουδεὶ πατραδέλφου αὐτοῦ ἐν Βαιθλέεμ·
Now these were members of the Thirty: Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan son of Dodo of Bethlehem,
Σελλὴς ὁ Κελωθεί· Εἴρας υἱὸς Εἰσκὰ ὁ Θεκωείτης·
Helez the Paltite, Ira son of Ikkesh the Tekoite,
Ἀβειέζερ ὁ Ἀνωθείτης, ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν τοῦ Ἀνωθείτου·
Abiezer the Anathothite, Mebunnai (note: Hebrew; some LXX manuscripts Sibbecai; see 2 Samuel 21:18 and 1 Chronicles 11:29.) the Hushathite,
Ἐσθαεὶ υἱὸς Ῥειβὰ ἐκ Γαβαὲθ υἱὸς Βενιαμεὶν τοῦ Ἐφραθαίου·
Heled (note: Some Hebrew manuscripts and Vulgate (see also 1 Chronicles 11:30); most MT manuscripts Heleb) son of Baanah the Netophathite, Ittai (note: Ittai is a variant of Ithai; see 1 Chronicles 11:31.) son of Ribai from Gibeah of the Benjamites,
Ἐμασοὺ ὁ Σαλαβωνείτης· υἱοὶ Ἀσάν, Ἰωναθάν·
Eliahba the Shaalbonite, the sons of Jashen (note: Jashen is a variant of Hashem; see 1 Chronicles 11:34.), Jonathan
Σαμνὰν ὁ Ἁρωδείτης· Ἀμνὰν υἱὸς Ἀραὶ Σαραουρείτης·
son of Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam son of Sharar (note: Hebrew; some LXX manuscripts Sachar; see 1 Chronicles 11:35.) the Hararite,
Ἀλειφάλεθ υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀσβείτου υἱὸς τοῦ Μαχαχααχεί· Ἐλιὰβ υἱὸς Ἀχειτόφελ τοῦ Γελωνείτου·
Eliphelet son of Ahasbai the Maacathite, Eliam son of Ahithophel the Gilonite,
Ἐλειὲ ὁ Ἀμμανείτης· Γελωρέ ὁ Βηθωραῖος αἴρων τὰ σκεύη Ἰωάβ, υἱὸς Σαρουίας·
Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Beerothite, the armor-bearer of Joab son of Zeruiah,
Οὐρείας ὁ Χετταῖος· πάντες τριάκοντα καὶ ἑπτά.
and Uriah the Hittite. There were thirty-seven in all.
