1And all Israel came to David in Chebron, saying, Behold, we [are] thy bones and thy flesh.
1Then all Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
2And heretofore when Saul was king, thou wast he that led Israel in and out, and the Lord of Israelsaid to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be for a ruler over Israel.
2In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. Yahweh your God said to you, ‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over my people Israel.’”
3And all the elders of Israel came to the king to Chebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Chebron before the Lord: and they anointed David to be king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord by Samuel.
3So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Yahweh. They anointed David king over Israel, according to Yahweh’s word by Samuel.

4David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (also called Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.
5Thou shalt not enter in hither. But he took the strong hold of Sion: this [is] the city of David.
5The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will not come in here!” Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. The same is David’s city.
6And David said, Whoever first smites the Jebusite, even he shall be chief and captain. And Joab the son of Saruia went up first, and became chief.
6David had said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.” Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.
7And David dwelt in the strong hold; therefore he called it the city of David.
7David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it David’s city.
8And he fortified the city round about.
8He built the city all around, from Millo even around; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
9And David continued to increase, and the Lord Almighty [was] with him.
9David grew greater and greater, for Yahweh of Armies was with him.
10And these [are] the chiefs 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.

14They stood in the middle of the plot, defended it, and killed the Philistines; and Yahweh saved them by a great victory.

17And David longed, and said, Who will give me water to drink of the well of Bethleem, that is in the gate?
17David longed, and said, “Oh, that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!”
18And the three broke through the camp of the Philistines, and they drew water out of the well that was in Bethleem, which was in the gate, and they took it, and came to David: but David would not drink it, and poured it out to the Lord, and said,
18The three broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, took it, and brought it to David; but David would not drink any of it, but poured it out to Yahweh,
19God forbid that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men with their lives ? for with [the peril of] their lives they brought it. So he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty [men].
19and said, “My God forbid me, that I should do this! Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy?” For they risked their lives to bring it. Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.
