1 Sử-ký 11
Kinh Thánh Bản Truyền Thống ⇄ NET Bible
StudiumXương và thịt — “Xương và thịt của ông” là một thành ngữ cổ có nghĩa là người thân trong gia đình. Cả Y-sơ-ra-ên nhận Đa-vít là người thân tộc trước khi suy tôn ông làm vua. Cụm từ này cũng xuất hiện trong bản ghi chép song song tại 2 Sa-mu-ên 5:1.(2SA 5:1)All Israel joined David at Hebron and said, “Look, we are your very flesh and blood!
In the past, even when Saul was king, you were Israel’s commanding general. The Lord your God said to you, ‘You will shepherd my people Israel; you will rule over my people Israel.’”
StudiumGiao ước trước mặt Đức Giê-hô-va — Đa-vít từng được Sa-mu-ên xức dầu kín đáo khi Sau-lơ vẫn còn làm vua (1 Sa-mu-ên 16:13). Giờ đây, các trưởng lão của mọi chi phái kết lập giao ước công khai với ông trước mặt Đức Chúa Trời, xác nhận lời mà Đức Giê-hô-va đã phán qua Sa-mu-ên.(1SA 16:13)When all the leaders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, David made an agreement with them in Hebron before the Lord. They anointed David king over Israel, just as the Lord had announced through Samuel.
David and the whole Israelite army advanced to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus). (The Jebusites, the land’s original inhabitants, lived there.)
StudiumGiê-bu trở thành Si-ôn — Giê-ru-sa-lem ban đầu là một thành trì của người Giê-bu gọi là Giê-bu. Đa-vít chiếm lấy đồn lũy Si-ôn và đổi tên thành thành Đa-vít — biến nơi này thành kinh đô hoàng gia và sau đó là một tên gọi thánh cho nơi ngự trị của Đức Chúa Trời.The residents of Jebus said to David, “You cannot invade this place!” But David captured the fortress of Zion (that is, the City of David).
David said, “Whoever attacks the Jebusites first will become commanding general!” So Joab son of Zeruiah attacked first and became commander.
David lived in the fortress; for this reason it is called the City of David.
He built up the city around it, from the terrace to the surrounding walls; Joab restored the rest of the city.
David’s power steadily grew, for the Lord who commands armies was with him.
These were the leaders of David’s warriors who helped establish and stabilize his rule over all Israel, in accordance with the Lord’s word.
This is the list of David’s warriors: Jashobeam, a Hacmonite, was head of the officers. He killed three hundred men with his spear in a single battle.
Next in command was Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite. He was one of the three elite warriors.
He was with David in Pas Dammim when the Philistines assembled there for battle. In an area of the field that was full of barley, the army retreated before the Philistines,
but then they made a stand in the middle of that area. They defended it and defeated the Philistines; the Lord gave them a great victory.
Three of the thirty leaders went down to David at the rocky cliff at the cave of Adullam, while a Philistine force was camped in the Valley of Rephaim.
David was in the stronghold at the time, while a Philistine garrison was in Bethlehem.
David was thirsty and said, “How I wish someone would give me some water to drink from the cistern in Bethlehem near the city gate!”
StudiumNước đổ ra — Đa-vít gọi nước ấy là huyết của những kẻ đã liều mạng sống mình để đem về. Người không chịu uống mà rảy nước ấy ra trước mặt Đức Giê-hô-va, xem đó như một của lễ dâng thánh thay vì là phần thưởng cho sự anh dũng.So the three elite warriors broke through the Philistine forces and drew some water from the cistern in Bethlehem near the city gate. They carried it back to David, but David refused to drink it. He poured it out as a drink offering to the Lord
and said, “God forbid that I should do this! Should I drink the blood of these men who risked their lives?” Because they risked their lives to bring it to him, he refused to drink it. Such were the exploits of the three elite warriors.
Abishai the brother of Joab was head of the three elite warriors. He killed three hundred men with his spear and gained fame along with the three elite warriors.
From the three he was given double honor and he became their officer, even though he was not one of them.
Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a brave warrior from Kabzeel who performed great exploits. He struck down the two sons of Ariel of Moab; he also went down and killed a lion inside a cistern on a snowy day.
He even killed an Egyptian who was seven and a half feet tall. The Egyptian had a spear as big as the crossbeam of a weaver’s loom; Benaiah attacked him with a club. He grabbed the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand and killed him with his own spear.
Such were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who gained fame along with the three elite warriors.
He received honor from the thirty warriors, though he was not one of the three elite warriors. David put him in charge of his bodyguard.
The mighty warriors were: Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan son of Dodo, from Bethlehem,
Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite,
Ira son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abiezer the Anathothite,
Sibbekai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite,
Maharai the Netophathite, Heled son of Baanah the Netophathite,
Ithai son of Ribai from Gibeah in Benjaminite territory, Benaiah the Pirathonite,
Hurai from the valleys of Gaash, Abiel the Arbathite,
Azmaveth the Baharumite, Eliahba the Shaalbonite,
the sons of Hashem the Gizonite, Jonathan son of Shageh the Hararite,
Ahiam son of Sakar the Hararite, Eliphal son of Ur,
Hepher the Mekerathite, Ahijah the Pelonite,

Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite,
StudiumU-ri người Hê-tít — U-ri được vinh danh ở đây trong số những dõng sĩ của Đa-vít. Nhiều năm sau, Đa-vít phạm tội với vợ của U-ri là Bát-sê-ba và ra lệnh giết U-ri trong trận chiến — khiến cho sự phản bội của Đa-vít trở nên vô cùng sâu sắc và đau đớn.(2SA 11:15)Uriah the Hittite, Zabad son of Achli,
Adina son of Shiza the Reubenite, leader of the Reubenites and the thirty warriors with him,
Hanan son of Maacah, Joshaphat the Mithnite,
