23:7 But the man [H376] [that] shall touch [H5060] them must be fenced [H4390] with iron [H1270] and the staff [H6086] of a spear [H2595] ; and they shall be utterly [H8313] burned [H8313] with fire [H784] in the [same] place [H7675] .(fenced: Heb. filled)
23:8 These [be] the names [H8034] of the mighty men [H1368] whom David [H1732] had: The Tachmonite [H8461] that sat [H3427] in the seat [H7675] [H3429] , chief [H7218] among the captains [H7991] ; the same [was] Adino [H5722] the Eznite [H6112] : [he lift up his spear] against eight [H8083] hundred [H3967] , whom he slew [H2491] at one [H259] time [H6471] .(The Tachmonite: or, Joshebbassebet the Tachmonite, head of the three. whom he: Heb. slain. he lift: See 1.Ch.11.11. whom he: Heb. slain)

23:10 He arose [H6965] , and smote [H5221] the Philistines [H6430] until [H3588] his hand [H3027] was weary [H3021] , and his hand [H3027] clave [H1692] unto the sword [H2719] : and the LORD [H3068] wrought [H6213] a great [H1419] victory [H8668] that day [H3117] ; and the people [H5971] returned [H7725] after [H310] him only to spoil [H6584] .
23:11 And after [H310] him [was] Shammah [H8048] the son [H1121] of Agee [H89] the Hararite [H2043] .

23:12 But he stood [H3320] in the midst [H8432] of the ground [H2513] , and defended [H5337] it, and slew [H5221] the Philistines [H6430] : and the LORD [H3068] wrought [H6213] a great [H1419] victory [H8668] .
23:13 And three [H7969] [H7970] of the thirty [H7970] chief [H7218] went down [H3381] , and came [H935] to David [H1732] in the harvest time [H7105] unto the cave [H4631] of Adullam [H5725] : and the troop [H2416] of the Philistines [H6430] pitched [H2583] in the valley [H6010] of Rephaim [H7497] .(three: or, the three captains over the thirty)
23:14 And David [H1732] [was] then in an hold [H4686] , and the garrison [H4673] of the Philistines [H6430] [was] then [in] Bethlehem [H1035] .
23:15 And David [H1732] longed [H183] , and said [H559] , Oh that one would give me drink [H8248] of the water [H4325] of the well [H953] of Bethlehem [H1035] , which [is] by the gate [H8179] !

23:17 And he said [H559] , Be it far [H2486] from me, O LORD [H3068] , that I should do [H6213] this: [is not this] the blood [H1818] of the men [H582] that went [H1980] in jeopardy of their lives [H5315] ? therefore he would [H14] not drink [H8354] it.

23:19 Was he not most honourable [H3513] of three [H7969] ? therefore he was their captain [H8269] : howbeit he attained [H935] not unto the [first] three [H7969] .
23:20 And Benaiah [H1141] the son [H1121] of Jehoiada [H3077] , the son [H1121] of a valiant [H2428] man [H376] [H381] , of Kabzeel [H6909] , who had done many [H7227] acts [H6467] , he slew [H5221] two [H8147] lionlike men [H739] of Moab [H4124] : he went down [H3381] also and slew [H5221] a lion [H738] in the midst [H8432] of a pit [H953] in time [H3117] of snow [H7950] :(who: Heb. great of acts)(lionlike: Heb. lion of God)

23:23 He was more honourable [H3513] than the thirty [H7970] , but he attained [H935] not to the [first] three [H7969] . And David [H1732] set [H7760] him over his guard [H4928] .(more: or, honourable among the thirty)(guard: or, council: Heb. at his command)
