1 Chronicles 11

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	Peshitta
1 Then all of Israel was gathered to David at Hebron, saying: “We are your bone and your flesh.	1 ܘܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܒ̈ܢܝ ܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ ܠܘܬ ܕܘܝܕ ܠܚܒܪܘܢ ܘܐܡ̇ܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܕܡܟ ܚܢܢ ܘܒܣܪܟ
2 Also, yesterday and the day before, when Saul still reigned, you were the one who led out and brought in Israel. For the Lord your God said to you: ‘You shall pasture my people Israel, and you shall be the leader over them.’ ”	2 ܘܐܦ ܐܬܡܠܝ ܘܡܢܬܡܠܝ ܟܕ ܫܐܘܠ ܗܘܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܥܠܝܢ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܢ̇ܦܩ ܗܘܝܬ ܘܥܐ̇ܠ ܒܪܝܫܗ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܙܠ ܐܢܬ ܬܪܥܐ ܠܥܡܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܐܢܬ ܬܗܘܐ ܡܕܒܪܢܐ ܥܠ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܫܒ̈ܛܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ
3 Therefore, all those greater by birth of Israel went to the king at Hebron. And David formed a pact with them before the Lord. And they anointed him king over Israel, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of Samuel.	3 ܘܐܬܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܫܒ̈ܛܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܠܘܬ ܡܠܟܐ ܠܚܒܪܘܢ ܘܝܡܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܘܝܕ ܡܘܡܬܐ ܒܚܒܪܘܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܩܝܡܘ ܠܕܘܝܕ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܥܠ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܐܬܩܝ̈ܡܝ ܡ̈ܠܘܗܝ ܕܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ
4 Then David and all of Israel went to Jerusalem. The same is Jebus, where the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were.	4 ܘܐܙܠ ܕܘܝܕ ܘܟܘܠܗܘܢ ܒ̈ܢܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܕܗܝ ܡܬܩܪܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܝܒܘܣ ܡܢ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܘܬܡܢ ܗܘܘ ܝܒܘܣ̈ܝܐ ܥܡܘܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ
5 And those who were living in Jebus said to David: “You shall not enter here.” But David seized the stronghold of Zion, which is the city of David.	5 ܘܐܡ̇ܪܝܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܝܬ̈ܒܝ ܝܒܘܣ ܠܕܘܝܕ ܠܐ ܬܥܘܠ ܠܗܪܟܐ ܘܟܢܫ ܕܘܝܕ ܠܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܘܟܒܫ ܠܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܨܗܝܘܢ ܗܢ̈ܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܩܪ̈ܝ ܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܕܘܝܕ
6 And he said, “Whoever shall strike the Jebusites first, shall be ruler and commander.” And so Joab, the son of Zeruiah, ascended first, and he was made the leader.	6 ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܕܘܝܕ ܟܠ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܢܩܛܘܠ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܓܒܪܐ ܝܒܘܣܝܐ ܗܘ ܢܗܘܐ ܪܫܐ ܘܪܒ ܚܝܠܐ ܘܣܠܩ ܝܘܐܒ ܒܪ ܨܘܪܝܐ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܘܐܩܝܡܗ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܘܝܕ ܪܫܐ ܘܪܒ ܚܝܠܐ
7 Then David lived in the stronghold, and for this reason it was called the City of David.	7 ܘܝܬܒ ܕܘܝܕ ܒܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܨܗܝܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܩ̇ܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗܝܢ ܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܕܘܝܕ
8 And he built up the city all around, from Millo even to every side. But Joab built the rest of the city.	8 ܘܒܢܐ ܕܘܝܕ ܚܕܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܕܩܪܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܚܐܪܝܬܐ ܘܠܒܪ ܘܝܗܒ ܕܘܝܕ ܝܡܝܢܐ ܠܫܪܟܐ ܕܒ̈ܢܝ ܐܢܫ̈ܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ
9 And David continued advancing and increasing, and the Lord of hosts was with him.	9 ܘܕܘܝܕ ܐܙ̇ܠ ܗܘܐ ܘܥ̇ܬܪ ܘܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܥܡܗ
10 These are the leaders of the strong men of David, who assisted him, so that he would become king over all of Israel, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Israel.	10 ܘܗܠܝܢ ܪ̈ܝܫܐ ܕܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܕܡܥܫܢܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܠܡܩܡܘܬܗ ܡܠܟܐ ܥܠ ܟܠܗ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܝܟ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܕܡܠܠ ܥܠ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
11 And this is the number of the robust of David: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, leader among the thirty. He lifted up his spear over three hundred, who were wounded at one time.	11 ܘܗܠܝܢ ܡܢܝ̈ܢܐ ܕܓܒܪ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܕܝܬܒ ܒܡܘܬܒܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܪܫܐ ܕܬܠܬܝܢ ܗܘܝܘ ܓܕܝܢܘ ܓܢܒܪܐ ܗܘ ܫܡܛ ܪܘܡܚܗ ܘܩܛܠ ܬܡܢܡܐܐ ܓܒܪ̈ܝܢ ܒܫܥܬܐ ܚܕܐ
12 And after him, there was Eleazar, the son of his uncle, an Ahohite, who was among the three powerful ones.	12 ܒܬܪܗ ܗܘܐ ܐܠܝܥܙܪ ܒܪ ܕܕܗ ܡܢ ܕܚܘܚ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܗܘ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܬܠܬܡܐܐ ܓܒܪ̈ܝܢ
13 He was with David in Pasdammim, when the Philistines were gathered to that place for battle. Now the field of that region was full of barley, but the people had fled from the face of the Philistines.	13 ܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܥܡ ܕܘܝܕ ܒܦܣܕܡ̈ܝܐ ܘܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܥ̇ܒܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܬܡܢ ܩܪܒܐ ܘܗܘܬ ܬܡܢ ܚܩܠܐ ܚܕܐ ܕܙܪܝܥܐ ܣܥܪ̈ܐ ܘܥܡܐ ܐܬܒܕܪܘ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ
14 These men stood in the midst of the field, and they defended it. And when they had struck down the Philistines, the Lord gave a great salvation to his people.	14 ܘܩܡܘ ܒܓܘ ܚܩܠܐ ܘܦܨܝܘܗ̇ ܘܚܪܒܘ ܠܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܘܥܒܕ ܡܪܝܐ ܢܨܚܢܐ ܪܒܐ
15 Then three from the thirty leaders descended to the rock where David was, to the cave of Adullam, when the Philistines had made camp in the Valley of the Rephaim.	15 ܘܢܚܬܘ ܬܠܬܐ ܡܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܠܘܬ ܕܘܝܕ ܠܡܥܪܬܐ ܕܓܬܡ ܘܡܫܪ̈ܝܬܐ ܕܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܫܪ̈ܝܢ ܗܘ̈ܝ ܒܦܩܥܬܐ ܕܓܢܒܪ̈ܐ
16 Now David was in a stronghold, and a garrison of the Philistines was in Bethlehem.	16 ܘܕܘܝܕ ܫܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܡܫܟܢܐ ܘܓܢܒܪ̈ܐ ܕܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܒܝܬ ܠܚܡ
17 And then David desired and said, “O if only someone would give me water from the well of Bethlehem, which is at the gate!”	17 ܘܐܬܪܓܪܓ ܕܘܝܕ ܘܐܡܪ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܝܢ ܝܗܒ ܠܝ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܐܫܬܝܬ ܡܢ ܓܘܒܐ ܪܒܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܠܚܡ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܬܪܥܐ ܕܩܪܝܬܐ
18 Therefore, these three broke through to the midst of the camp of the Philistines, and they drew water from the well of Bethlehem, which was at the gate. And they took it to David, so that he might drink. But he was not willing; and instead, he offered it as a libation to the Lord,	18 ܘܒܗ̇ ܒܫܥܬܐ ܫܡܥܘ ܬܠܬܐ ܓܒܪ̈ܝܢ ܘܨܪܘ ܘܥܠܘ ܒܡܫܪ̈ܝܬܐ ܕܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܘܡܠܘ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܡܢ ܓܘܒܐ ܪܒܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܝܬ ܠܚܡ ܒܬܪܥܐ ܕܩܪܝܬܐ ܘܢܣܒܘ ܘܐܝܬܝܘ ܘܝܗܒܘ ܠܕܘܝܕ ܘܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܠܡܫܬܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܢܣܟ ܐܢܘܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ
19 saying: “Far be it from me, that I would do this in the sight of my God, and that I would drink the blood of these men. For at the peril of their own lives, they brought the water to me.” And for this reason, he was not willing to drink. The three most powerful accomplished these things.	19 ܘܐܡܪ ܚܣ ܠܝ ܡܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܐܥܒܕ ܗܕܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܢܦܩܘ ܐܙܠܘ ܥܠ ܕܡܐ ܕܨܘܪ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܠܡܫܬܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕܘ ܬܠܬܐ ܓܒܪ̈ܝܢ
20 Also, Abishai, the brother of Joab, was the leader of the three, and he lifted up his spear against three hundred, who were wounded. And he was most renown among the three,	20 ܘܐܒܝܫܝ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܝܘܐܒ ܗܘ ܗܘܐ ܪܫܐ ܕܬܠܬܝܢ ܘܗܘ ܫܡܛ ܪܘܡܚܐ ܥܠ ܬܠܬܡܐܐ ܩܛܝ̈ܠܝܢ ܘܠܗ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܩܪܐ ܥܠ ܬܠܬܝܢ
21 and he was famous among the second three and their leader. Yet truly, he did not reach as far as the first three.	21 ܘܡܢ ܬܠܬܝܢ ܡܝܩܪ ܗܘܐ ܘܗܘܐ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܪܫܐ ܘܩܪܒܐ ܐܝܟ ܬܠܬܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܗܘܐ
22 Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, from Kabzeel, was a very mature man, who had accomplished many deeds. He struck down the two lions of God from Moab. And he descended and killed a lion in the middle of a pit, in the time of snow.	22 ܒܢܝܐ ܒܪ ܝܘܝܕܥ ܓܒܪܐ ܓܢܒܪ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܫܦܝܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܒ̇ܕܘ̈ܗܝ ܡܢ ܟܪܟܐ ܕܩܒܨܐܝܠ ܗܘ ܚܪܒ ܠܬܪ̈ܝܢ ܓܢܒܪ̈ܝܢ ܕܡܘܐܒ ܘܗܘ ܢܚܬ ܘܩܛܠ ܠܐܪܝܐ ܒܓܘ ܥܒܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܬܠܓܐ
23 And he struck down an Egyptian man, whose stature was five cubits, and who had a spear like a weaver’s beam. And yet he descended to him with a staff. And he seized the spear that he was holding in his hand. And he killed him with his own spear.	23 ܘܗܘ ܩܛܠ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܡܨܪܝܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܡܪܐ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܐܪܝܟ ܗܘܐ ܚܡܫ ܐܡ̈ܝܢ ܘܒܐܝܕܗ ܕܡܨܪܝܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܪܘܡܚܐ ܕܗ̇ܘܐ ܗܘܐ ܥܒܝܐ ܕܫܢܢܗ̇ ܐܝܟ ܢܘܠܐ ܕܓܪ̈ܕܝܝܐ ܘܢܚܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܒܚܘܛܪܐ ܘܢܣܒܗ̇ ܠܪܘܡܚܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܕܘ̈ܗܝ ܕܡܨܪܝܐ ܘܩܛܠܗ ܒܗ̇ ܒܪܘܡܚܐ
24 These things were done by Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who was most renowned among the three robust ones,	24 ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܒܢܝܐ ܒܪ ܝܘܝܕܥ ܘܠܗ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܫܡܐ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܬܠܬܐ ܓܒܪ̈ܝܢ
25 the first among the thirty. Yet truly, he did not reach as far as the three. Then David placed him beside his ear.	25 ܘܡܢ ܬܠܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܝܩܪ ܗܘܐ ܘܩܐܪܣܐ ܐܝܟ ܬܠܬܐ ܥܒܕ ܗܘܐ ܘܐܩܝܡܗ ܕܘܝܕ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܢܛܘܪܐ ܥܠ ܪܘܡܚܗ
26 Moreover, the strongest men of the army were Asahel, the brother of Joab; and Elhanan, the son of his uncle, from Bethlehem;	26 ܘܥܠ ܓܢܒܪ̈ܝ ܚܝܠܐ ܥܫܐܝܠ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܝܘܐܒ ܐܠܚܢܢ ܒܪ ܕܕܗ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܠܚܡ
