1
And all Israel assembled themselves to David to Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.
2
Even aforetime, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel; and Jehovah thyGod said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over my people Israel.
3
And all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah; and they anointed David king over Israel according to the word of Jehovah through Samuel.
4
And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.
5
And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come in hither. But David took the stronghold of Zion, which is the city of David.
6
And David said, Whoever smites the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. And Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.
7
And David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore they called it the city of David.
8
And he built the city round about, even from the Millo round about; and Joab renewed the rest of the city.
9
And David became continually greater; and Jehovah of hosts was with him.
10
And these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who shewed themselves valiant with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of Jehovah concerning Israel.
11
And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of Hachmoni, the chief of the captains; he brandished his spear against three hundred, slain [by him] at one time.
12
And after him, Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite; he was one of the three mighty men.
13
He was with David at Pas-dammim, where the Philistines were gathered together to battle; and there was [there] a plot of ground full of barley; and the people had fled from before the Philistines.
14
And they stood in the midst of the plot and delivered it, and smote the Philistines; and Jehovah wrought a great deliverance.
15
And three of the thirty chiefs went down to the rock to David, to the cave of Adullam, when the army of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
16
And David was then in the stronghold; and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem.
17
And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me to drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is in the gate!
18
And the three broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, which is in the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; David however would not drink of it, but poured it out to Jehovah.
19
And he said, MyGod forbid it me, that I should do this thing! should I drink the blood of these men [who went] at the risk of their lives? for at the risk of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.
20
And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was the chief of three; and he brandished his spear against three hundred and slew them; and he had a name among the three.
21
Of the three he was more honourable than the two, and he was their captain; but he did not attain to the [first] three.
22
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, great in exploits, of Kabzeel: he it was that smote two lions of Moab; and he went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.
23
He also smote the Egyptian, a man of stature, five cubits high: and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.
24
These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he had a name among the three mighty men.
25
Behold, he was honoured above the thirty, but he did not attain to the [first] three. And David set him in his council.

1
Congregatus est igitur omnis Israel ad David in Hebron, dicens: Os tuum sumus, et caro tua.
2
Heri quoque, et nudiustertius cum adhuc regnaret Saul, tu eras qui educebas, et introducebas Israel: tibi enim dixit Dominus Deus tuus: Tu pasces populum meum Israel, et tu eris princeps super eum.
3
Venerunt ergo omnes maiores natu Israel ad regem in Hebron, et iniit David cum eis fœdus coram Domino: unxeruntque eum regem super Israel, iuxta sermonem Domini, quem locutus est in manu Samuel.
4
Abiit quoque David, et omnis Israel in Ierusalem. hæc est Iebus, ubi erant Iebusæi habitatores terræ.
5
Dixeruntque qui habitabant in Iebus ad David: Non ingredieris huc. Porro David cepit arcem Sion, quæ est Civitas David,
6
dixitque: Omnis qui percusserit Iebusæum in primis, erit princeps et dux. Ascendit igitur primus Ioab filius Sarviæ, et factus est princeps.
7
Habitavit autem David in arce, et idcirco appellata est Civitas David.
8
Ædificavitque urbem in circuitu a Mello usque ad gyrum, Ioab autem reliqua urbis extruxit.
9
Proficiebatque David vadens et crescens, et Dominus exercituum erat cum eo.
10
Hi principes virorum fortium David, qui adiuverunt eum ut rex fieret super omnem Israel iuxta verbum Domini, quod locutus est ad Israel.
11
Et iste numerus robustorum David: Iesbaam filius Hachamoni princeps inter triginta: iste levavit hastam suam super trecentos vulneratos una vice.
12
Et post eum Eleazar filius patrui eius Ahohites, qui erat inter tres potentes.
13
Iste fuit cum David in Phesdomim, quando Philisthiim congregati sunt ad locum illum in prælium: et erat ager regionis illius plenus hordeo, fugeratque populus a facie Philisthinorum.
14
Hi steterunt in medio agri, et defenderunt eum: cumque percussissent Philisthæos, dedit Dominus salutem magnam populo suo.
15
Descenderunt autem tres de triginta principibus ad petram, in qua erat David, ad speluncam Odollam, quando Philisthiim fuerant castrametati in Valle raphaim.
16
Porro David erat in præsidio, et statio Philisthinorum in Bethlehem.
17
Desideravit igitur David, et dixit: O si quis daret mihi aquam de cisterna Bethlehem, quæ est in porta.
18
Tres ergo isti per media castra Philisthinorum perrexerunt, et hauserunt aquam de cisterna Bethlehem, quæ erat in porta, et attulerunt ad David ut biberet: qui noluit, sed magis libavit illam Domino,
19
dicens: Absit ut in conspectu Dei mei hoc faciam, et sanguinem istorum virorum bibam: quia in periculo animarum suarum attulerunt mihi aquam. Et ob hanc causam noluit bibere. hæc fecerunt tres robustissimi.
20
Abisai quoque frater Ioab ipse erat princeps trium, et ipse levavit hastam suam contra trecentos vulneratos, et ipse erat inter tres nominatissimus,
21
et inter tres secundos inclytus, et princeps eorum: verumtamen usque ad tres primos non pervenerat.
22
Banaias filius Ioiadæ viri robustissimi, qui multa opera perpetrarat, de Cabseel: ipse percussit duos ariel Moab: et ipse descendit, et interfecit leonem in media cisterna tempore nivis.
23
Et ipse percussit virum Ægyptium, cuius statura erat quinque cubitorum, et habebat lanceam ut liciatorium texentium: descendit igitur ad eum cum virga, et rapuit hastam, quam tenebat manu. et interfecit eum hasta sua.
24
Hæc fecit Banaias filius Ioiadæ, qui erat inter tres robustos nominatissimus,
25
inter triginta primus, verumtamen ad tres usque non pervenerat: posuit autem eum David ad auriculam suam.

1
And gathered are all Israel unto David to Hebron, saying, `Lo, thy bone and thy flesh <FI>are<Fi> we;
2
even in time past, even in Saul's being king, it is thou who art taking out and bringing in Israel, and Jehovah thy God saith to thee: Thou dost feed My people Israel, and thou art leader over My people Israel.'
3
And all the elders of Israel come in unto the king to Hebron, and David maketh with them a covenant in Hebron before Jehovah, and they anoint David for king over Israel, according to the word of Jehovah by the hand of Samuel.
4
And David goeth, and all Israel, to Jerusalem--it <FI>is<Fi> Jebus--and there the Jebusite, the inhabitants of the land.
5
And the inhabitants of Jebus say to David, `Thou dost not come in hither;' and David captureth the fortress of Zion--it <FI>is<Fi> the city of David.
6
And David saith, `Whoever smiteth the Jebusite first doth become head and prince;' and go up first doth Joab son of Zeruiah and becometh head.
7
And David dwelleth in the fortress, therefore they have called it, `City of David;'
8
and he buildeth the city round about, from Millo, and unto the circumference, and Joab restoreth the rest of the city.
9
And David goeth, going on and becoming great, and Jehovah of Hosts <FI>is<Fi> with him.
10
And these <FI>are<Fi> heads of the mighty ones whom David hath, who are strengthening themselves with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to cause him to reign, according to the word of Jehovah, over Israel.
11
And this <FI>is<Fi> an account of the mighty ones whom David hath: Jashobeam son of a Hachmonite <FI>is<Fi> head of the thirty; he is lifting up his spear against three hundred--wounded, at one time.
12
And after him <FI>is<Fi> Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite, he <FI>is<Fi> among the three mighty;
13
he hath been with David in Pas-Dammim, and the Philistines have been gathered there to battle, and a portion of the field is full of barley, and the people have fled from the face of the Philistines,
14
and they station themselves in the midst of the portion, and deliver it, and smite the Philistines, and Jehovah saveth--a great salvation.
15
And three of the thirty heads go down on the rock unto David, unto the cave of Adullam, and the host of the Philistines is encamping in the valley of Rephaim,
16
and David <FI>is<Fi> then in the fortress, and the station of the Philistines <FI>is<Fi> then in Beth-Lehem,
17
and David longeth, and saith, `Who doth give me to drink water from the well of Beth-Lehem, that <FI>is<Fi> at the gate!'
18
And the three break through the camp of the Philistines, and draw water from the well of Beth-Lehem, that <FI>is<Fi> at the gate, and bear and bring in unto David, and David hath not been willing to drink it, and poureth it out to Jehovah,
19
and saith, `Far be it from me, by my God, to do this; the blood of these men do I drink with their lives? for with their lives they have brought it;' and he was not willing to drink it; these <FI>things<Fi> did the three mighty ones.
20
And Abishai brother of Joab, he hath been head of the three: and he is lifting up his spear against three hundred--wounded, and hath a name among three.
21
Of the three by the two he is honoured, and becometh their head; and unto the <FI>first<Fi> three he hath not come.
22
Benaiah son of Jehoiada, son of a man of valour, of great deeds, from Kabzeel: he hath smitten the two lion-like Moabites, and he hath gone down and smitten the lion in the midst of the pit, in the day of snow.
23
And he hath smitten the man, the Egyptian--a man of measure, five by the cubit--and in the hand of the Egyptian <FI>is<Fi> a spear like a beam of weavers, and he goeth down unto him with a rod, and taketh violently away the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slayeth him with his own spear.
24
These <FI>things<Fi> hath Benaiah son of Jehoiada done, and hath a name among the three mighty ones.

Of the thirty, lo, he <FI>is<Fi> honoured, and unto the <FI>first<Fi> three he hath not come, and David setteth him over his guard.

Explanations by Age Level
Explain Like I'm 5
A long, long time ago, there was nothing at all - no earth, no sky, no animals, no people. It was all dark and empty. But God was there! God is so powerful that He can make anything just by speaking. So God said "Let there be light!" and BOOM! There was light everywhere! God saw that the light was beautiful and good. He called the light "day" and the darkness "night." This was the very first day when God started making our wonderful world!
Explain Like I'm 10
Before anything existed - no planets, stars, or life - God decided to create the universe. The earth started out as a dark, empty place covered with water. But God's Spirit was there, ready to bring order and beauty to everything. When God spoke and said "Let there be light," light immediately appeared because God's words have incredible power. God looked at the light and was pleased with what He had made. He organized time by separating light (day) from darkness (night), creating the first 24-hour period. This shows us that God is organized and purposeful in everything He does.
Explain Like I'm 15
Genesis 1:1-5 establishes fundamental theological truths about God and creation. The Hebrew word "bara" (created) indicates creation from nothing (ex nihilo), demonstrating God's absolute sovereignty and power. The phrase "without form and void" (tohu wa-bohu) describes a state of chaos that God transforms into order. The Spirit of God "hovering" or "brooding" over the waters suggests active, caring involvement in creation. The creation of light before the sun (created on day 4) indicates that God Himself is the ultimate source of light and energy. The establishment of day and night creates the framework of time, showing that God operates within orderly patterns while transcending them. This passage refutes both atheistic materialism and pantheism, establishing that God is both transcendent (separate from creation) and immanent (actively involved in it).
