Chapter 11 of 1 Chronicles—Revised Standard Version (RSV)

  1. ¶ Then all Israel gathered together to David at Hebron, and said, “Behold, we are your bone and flesh.
  2. In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you that led out and brought in Israel; and the LORD your God said to you, ‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over my people Israel.’”
  3. So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron; and David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD, and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel.
  4. ¶ And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, that is Jebus, where the Jeb′usites were, the inhabitants of the land.
  5. The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will not come in here.” Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David.
  6. David said, “Whoever shall smite the Jeb′usites first shall be chief and commander.” And Jo′ab the son of Zeru′iah went up first, so he became chief.
  7. And David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore it was called the city of David.
  8. And he built the city round about from the Millo in complete circuit; and Jo′ab repaired the rest of the city.
  9. And David became greater and greater, for the LORD of hosts was with him.
  10. ¶ Now these are the chiefs of David’s mighty men, who gave him strong support in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.
  11. This is an account of David’s mighty men: Jasho′be-am, a Hach′monite, was chief of the three;[a] he wielded his spear against three hundred whom he slew at one time.
  12. ¶ And next to him among the three mighty men was Elea′zar the son of Dodo, the Aho′hite.
  13. He was with David at Pas-dam′mim when the Philistines were gathered there for battle. There was a plot of ground full of barley, and the men fled from the Philistines.
  14. But he[b] took his[c] stand in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great victory.
  15. ¶ Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David at the cave of Adullam, when the army of Philistines was encamped in the valley of Reph′aim.
  16. David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then at Bethlehem.
  17. And David said longingly, “O that some one would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem which is by the gate!”
  18. Then the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem which was by the gate, and took and brought it to David. But David would not drink of it; he poured it out to the LORD,
  19. and said, “Far be it from me before my God that I should do this. Shall I drink the lifeblood of these men? For at the risk of their lives they brought it.” Therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.
  20. ¶ Now Abi′shai, the brother of Jo′ab, was chief of the thirty.[d] And he wielded his spear against three hundred men and slew them, and won a name beside the three.
  21. He was the most renowned[e] of the thirty,[f] and became their commander; but he did not attain to the three.
  22. ¶ And Benai′ah the son of Jehoi′ada was a valiant man[g] of Kabzeel, a doer of great deeds; he smote two ariels[h] of Moab. He also went down and slew a lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen.
  23. And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits tall. The Egyptian had in his hand a spear like a weaver’s beam; but Benai′ah went down to him with a staff, and snatched the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and slew him with his own spear.
  24. These things did Benai′ah the son of Jehoi′ada, and won a name beside the three mighty men.
  25. He was renowned among the thirty, but he did not attain to the three. And David set him over his bodyguard.
  26. ¶ The mighty men of the armies were As′ahel the brother of Jo′ab, Elha′nan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,
  27. Shammoth of Harod,[i] Helez the Pel′onite,
  28. Ira the son of Ikkesh of Teko′a, Abi-e′zer of An′athoth,
  29. Sib′becai the Hu′shathite, I′lai the Aho′hite,
  30. Ma′harai of Netoph′ah, Heled the son of Ba′anah of Netoph′ah,
  31. Ithai the son of Ribai of Gib′eah of the Benjaminites, Benai′ah of Pir′athon,
  32. Hurai of the brooks of Ga′ash, Abi′el the Ar′bathite,
  33. Az′maveth of Baha′rum, Eli′ahba of Sha-al′bon,
  34. Hashem[j] the Gi′zonite, Jonathan the son of Shagee the Har′arite,
  35. Ahi′am the son of Sachar the Har′arite, Eli′phal the son of Ur,
  36. Hepher the Meche′rathite, Ahi′jah the Pel′onite,
  37. Hezro of Carmel, Na′arai the son of Ezbai,
  38. Jo′el the brother of Nathan, Mibhar the son of Hagri,
  39. Zelek the Ammonite, Na′harai of Be-er′oth, the armor-bearer of Jo′ab the son of Zeru′iah,
  40. Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite,
  41. Uri′ah the Hittite, Zabad the son of Ahlai,
  42. Ad′ina the son of Shiza the Reubenite, a leader of the Reubenites, and thirty with him,
  43. Hanan the son of Ma′acah, and Josh′aphat the Mithnite,
  44. Uzzi′a the Ash′terathite, Shama and Je-i′el the sons of Hotham the Aro′erite,

  46. Eli′el the Ma′havite, and Jer′ibai, and Joshavi′ah, the sons of El′na-am, and Ithmah the Mo′abite,
  47. Eli′el, and Obed, and Ja-asi′el the Mezo′ba-ite.

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
