  23:1 ¶
And these [are] the last words of David. Faithful [is] David the son of Jesse{gr.Jessae}, and faithful the man whom the Lord raised up to be the anointed of the God of Jacob, and beautiful [are] the psalms of Israel. |
|
23:1 ¶
Now these°
[be] the last°
words°

David°
the son°
of Jesse°
said,°°°
and the man°
[who was] raised up°°
on high,°
the anointed°
of the Elohim°
of Jacob,°
and the sweet°
psalmist°
of Israel,°
said,°° |
|
23:2
The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, and his word [was] upon my tongue. |
|
23:2
The Spirit°
of Yahweh°
spake°°
by me, and his word°
[was] in°
my tongue.° |
|
23:3
The God of Israel says, A watchman out of Israel spoke to me a parable: I said among men, How will ye strengthen the fear of the anointed? |
|
23:3
The Elohim°
of Israel°
said,°°
the Rock°
of Israel°
spake°°
to me, He that ruleth°°
over°
men°
[must be] just,°
ruling°°
in the fear°
of Elohim.° |
|
23:4
And in the morning light of God, let the sun arise in the morning, from the light of which the Lord passed on, and as it were from the rain of the tender grass upon the earth. |
|
23:4
And [he shall be] as the light°
of the morning,°
[when] the sun°
riseth,°°
[even] a morning°
without°
clouds;°
[as] the tender grass°
[springing] out of the earth°°
by clear shining°°
after rain.°° |
|
23:5
For my house [is] not so with the Mighty One: for he has made an everlasting covenant with me, ready, guarded at every time; for all my salvation and all my desire [is], that the wicked should not flourish. |
|
23:5
Although°
my house°
[be] not°
so°
with°
El;°
yet°
he hath made°°
with me an everlasting°
covenant,°
ordered°°
in all°
[things], and sure:°°
for°
[this is] all°
my salvation,°
and all°
[my] desire,°
although°
he make [it] not°
to grow.°° |
|
23:6 ¶
All these [are] as a thorn thrust forth, for they shall not be taken with the hand, |
|
23:6 ¶
But [the sons] of Belial°
[shall be] all°
of them as thorns°
thrust away,°°
because°
they cannot°
be taken°°
with hands:° |
|
23:7
and a man shall not labour among them; and [one shall have] that which is fully armed with iron, and the staff of a spear, an he shall burn them with fire, and they shall be burnt in their shame. |
|
23:7
But the man°
[that] shall touch°°
them must be fenced°°
with iron°
and the staff°
of a spear;°
and they shall be utterly°°
burned°°
with fire°
in the [same] place.°° |
|

when they defied°°
the Philistines°
[that] were there°
gathered together°°
to battle,°
and the men°
of Israel°
were gone away:°° |
|
23:10
He arose an smote the Philistines, until his hand was weary, and his hand clave to the sword: and the Lord wrought a great salvation in that day, and the people rested behind him only to strip [the slain]. |
|
23:10
He°
arose,°°
and smote°°
the Philistines°
until°°
his hand°
was weary,°°

day;°

returned°°
after°
him only°
to spoil.°° |
|
23:11
And after him Shemaiah{gr.Samaia} the son of Asa the Arachite: and the Philistines were gathered to Theria; and there was there a portion of ground full of lentiles; and the people fled before the Philistines. |

from°°
the Philistines.° |
|
23:12
And he stood firm in the midst of the portion, and rescued it, and smote the Philistines; and the Lord wrought a great deliverance. |

and defended°°
it, and slew°°°
the Philistines:°
and Yahweh°
wrought°°
a great°
victory.° |
|
23:13
And three out of the thirty went down, and came to Cason to David, to the cave of Adullam{gr.Odollam}; and [there was] an army of the Philistines, and they encamped in the valley of giants{gr.Raphain}. |

23:13
And three°°°
of the thirty°
chief°
went down,°°
and came°°
to°
David°
in°
the harvest time°
unto°
the cave°
of Adullam:°
and the troop°
of the Philistines°
pitched°°
in the valley°
of Rephaim.° |
|
23:14
And David [was] then in the strong hold, and the garrison of the Philistines [was] then in Bethlehem{gr.Bethleem}. |

[was] then°
in an hold,°
and the garrison°

[in] Bethlehem.° |
|
23:15
And David longed, and said, Who will give me water to drink out of the well that is in Bethlehem{gr.Bethleem} by the gate? now the band of the Philistines [was] then in Bethlehem{gr.Bethleem}. |
|
23:15
And David°
longed,°°
and said,°°
Oh that one°
would give me drink°°
of the water°
of the well°°
of Bethlehem,°
which°
[is] by the gate!° |
|
23:16
And the three mighty men broke through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well that was in Bethlehem{gr.Bethleem} in the gate: and they took it, and brought it to David, and he would not drink it, but poured it out before the Lord. |
|
23:16
And the three°
mighty men°
brake through°°
the host°
of the Philistines,°
and drew°°
water°
out of the well°°
of Bethlehem,°
that°
[was] by the gate,°
and took°°
[it], and brought°°
[it] to°
David:°
nevertheless he would°°
not°
drink°°
thereof, but poured it out°°°
unto Yahweh.° |
|
23:17
And he said, O Lord, forbid that I should do this, that I should drink of the blood of the men who went at [the risk of] their lives: and he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men. |
|
23:17
And he said,°°
Be it far°
from me, O Yahweh,°
that I should do°°°
this:°
[is not this] the blood°
of the men°°
that went°°
in jeopardy of their lives?°
therefore he would°°
not°
drink°°
it. These°
things did°°
these three°
mighty men.° |

23:21
He smote a Mizraimite{gr.Egyptian}, a wonderful man, and in the hand of the Mizraimite{gr.Egyptian} [was] a spear as the side of a ladder; and he went down to him with a staff, and snatched the spear from the Mizraimite's{gr.Egyptian} hand, and slew him with his own spear. |
|
23:21
And he°
slew°°°°
an Egyptian,°°
