10:023:003 The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel
spake to me, He
that
ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of
God.
10:023:004 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.
10:023:005 Although my house be not so with God; 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.
10:023:006 But the sons of Belial shall be all of
them as thorns thrust
away,
because they cannot be taken with hands:
10:023:007 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.
10:023:008 These be the names of the mighty men whom
David had: The
Tachmonite
that sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the
same
was Adino the Eznite: he lift up his spear against
eight
hundred,
whom he slew at one time.
10:023:009 And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo
the Ahohite, one of
the
three mighty men with David, when they defied the
Philistines
that were there gathered together to battle, and
the
men of Israel were gone away:
10:023:010 He arose, and smote the Philistines until
his hand was weary,
and
his hand clave unto the sword: and the lord
wrought a
great
victory that day; and the people returned after him
only
to
spoil.
10:023:011 And after him was Shammah the son of Agee
the Hararite. And
the
Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where
was
a
piece of ground full of lentiles: and the people
fled from
the
Philistines.
10:023:012 But he stood in the midst of the ground,
and defended it, and
slew
the Philistines: and the lord wrought a great
victory.
10:023:013 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.
10:023:014 And David was then in an hold, and the
garrison of the
Philistines
was then in Bethlehem.
10:023:015 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!
10:023:016 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
the lord.
