1Yexais tus tub Daviv yog tus uas Vajtswv tsa ua tus muaj hwjchim loj kawg nkaus, nws yog tus uas Yakhauj tus Vajtswv xaiv los ua vajntxwv, thiab nws yog tus uas sau cov nkauj uas zoo tshaj plaws rau cov Yixalayees hu. Tej lus no yog Daviv cov lus hais thaum kawg: 2Tus TSWV tus ntsujplig hais rau kuv; nws tej lus nyob ntawm kuv tus nplaig. 3Cov Yixalayees tus Vajtswv tau hais tseg lawm; tus uas tsomkwm cov Yixalayees hais li no rau kuv: “Tus vajntxwv uas kav ncaj ncees thiab kav los ntawm txojkev hwm Vajtswv, 4nws zoo ib yam li lub hnub ci thaum sawv ntxov uas tsis muaj huab li, yog lub hnub uas ua rau tej nroj tsuag ci ntsais tsias thaum los nag tas.”
5Vajtswv yuav foom koob hmoov ntau npaug rau kuv cov xeebntxwv, rau qhov nws tau coglus ruaj khov rau kuv mus ibtxhis, thiab lo lus cog tseg ntawd yuav tsis muab rhuav ib zaug li, yog lo lus cog tseg uas tsis txawj hloov. Tej ntawd yog tej uas kuv xav tau, qhov ntawd yuav yog kuv txojkev muaj yeej; thiab Vajtswv yuav muab tej ntawd rau kuv raws li nws coglus tseg. 6Tiamsis cov neeg tsis hwm Vajtswv, lawv zoo ib yam li tej pos uas muab sua povtseg; tsis muaj neeg xav muab tes kov li lawm. 7Nej yuav tsum muab cuabyeej hlau lossis hmuv hlau mus sua lawm xwb; lawv yuav raug hlawv kub hnyiab kom tas du lug.

Tom qab uas tej ntawd dhau lawm, cov Yixalayees mam li rov los rau hauv qhov chaw uas Ele-axas nyob, thiab los hle cov neeg uas Ele-axas tua tuag tej ris tsho hlau. 11Tus peb uas nto moo ntawm peb leeg ntawd yog Akhees tus tub Samas uas nyob hauv lub nroog Halales.

Puas tsimnyog kuv haus cov ntshav uas yog cov neeg no txojsia? Vim lawv muab lawv txojsia mus pauv thiaj nqa tau cov dej no los.” Nws thiaj tsis kam haus cov dej ntawd.

David’s Last Words
1Now these are the last words of David. Thus says David the son of Jesse; Thus says ⚓the man raised up on high, ⚓The anointed of the God of Jacob, And the sweet psalmist of Israel: 2“The⚓ Spirit of the Lord spoke by me, And His word was on my tongue. 3The God of Israel said, ⚓The Rock of Israel spoke to me: ‘He who rules over men mustbe just, Ruling ⚓in the fear of God. 4And ⚓heshallbe like the light of the morning when the sun rises, A morning without clouds, Like the tender grass springing out of the earth, By clear shining after rain.’ 5“Although my house is not so with God, ⚓Yet He has made with me an everlasting covenant, Ordered in all things and secure. For thisis all my salvation and all my desire; Will He not make it increase? 6But thesons of rebellion shall all be as thorns thrust away, Because they cannot be taken with hands. 7But the man who touches them Must be armed with iron and the shaft of a spear, And they shall be utterly burned with fire in their place.”
David’s Mighty Men
8These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-Basshebeth the Tachmonite, chief among the captains. He was called Adino the Eznite, because he had killed eight hundred men at one time. 9And after him was⚓Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there for battle, and the men of Israel had retreated. 10He arose and attacked the Philistines until his hand was ⚓weary, and his hand stuck to the sword. The Lord brought about a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to ⚓plunder. 11And after him was⚓Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. ⚓The Philistines had gathered together into a troop where there was a piece of ground full of lentils. So the people fled from the Philistines. 12But he stationed himself in the middle of the field, defended it, and killed the Philistines. So the Lord brought about a great victory. 13Then ⚓three of the thirty chief men went down at harvest time and came to David at ⚓the cave of Adullam. And the troop of Philistines encamped in ⚓the Valley of Rephaim. 14David was then in ⚓the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem. 15And David said with longing, “Oh, that someone would give me a drink of the water from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!” 16So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David. Nevertheless he would not drink it, but poured it out to the Lord. 17And he said, “Far be it from me, O Lord, that I should do this! Is thisnot⚓the blood of the men who went in jeopardyof their lives?” Therefore he would not drink it. These things were done by the three mighty men. 18Now ⚓Abishai the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of another three. He lifted his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name among these three. 19Was he not the most honored of three? Therefore he became their captain. However, he did not attain to the first three. 20Benaiah was the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man from ⚓Kabzeel, who had done many deeds. ⚓He had killed two lion-like heroes of Moab. He also had gone down and killed a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day. 21And he killed an Egyptian, a spectacular man. The Egyptian had a spear in his hand; so he went down to him with a staff, wrested the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear. 22These things Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did, and won a name among three mighty men. 23He was more honored than the thirty, but he did not attain to the first three. And David appointed him ⚓over his guard. 24⚓Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem, 25⚓Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite, 26Helez the Paltite, Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, 27Abiezer the Anathothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite, 28Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite, 29Heleb the son of Baanah (the Netophathite), Ittai the son of Ribai from Gibeah of the children of Benjamin, 30Benaiah a Pirathonite, Hiddai from the brooks of ⚓Gaash, 31Abi-Albon the Arbathite, Azmaveth the Barhumite, 32Eliahba the Shaalbonite (of the sons of Jashen), Jonathan, 33⚓Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam the son of Sharar the Hararite, 34Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai, the son of the Maachathite, Eliam the son of ⚓Ahithophel the Gilonite, 35Hezrai the Carmelite, Paarai the Arbite, 36Igal the son of Nathan of ⚓Zobah, Bani the Gadite, 37Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Beerothite (armorbearer of Joab the son of Zeruiah), 38⚓Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite, 39and⚓Uriah the Hittite: thirty-seven in all.
