3. And all the elders of Israel come in unto the king to Hebron, and David maketh with them a covenant in Hebron before Jehovah, and they anoint David for king over Israel, according to the word of Jehovah by the hand of Samuel.
4. And David goeth, and all Israel, to Jerusalem--it [is] Jebus--and there the Jebusite, the inhabitants of the land.
5. And the inhabitants of Jebus say to David, `Thou dost not come in hither;' and David captureth the fortress of Zion--it [is] the city of David.
6. And David saith, `Whoever smiteth the Jebusite first doth become head and prince;' and go up first doth Joab son of Zeruiah and becometh head.
7. And David dwelleth in the fortress, therefore they have called it, `City of David;'
8. and he buildeth the city round about, from Millo, and unto the circumference, and Joab restoreth the rest of the city.
9. And David goeth, going on and becoming great, and Jehovah of Hosts [is] with him.
10. And these [are] heads of the mighty ones whom David hath, who are strengthening themselves with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to cause him to reign, according to the word of Jehovah, over Israel.
11. And this [is] an account of the mighty ones whom David hath: Jashobeam son of a Hachmonite [is] head of the thirty; he is lifting up his spear against three hundred--wounded, at one time.
12. And after him [is] Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite, he [is] among the three mighty;
13. he hath been with David in Pas-Dammim, and the Philistines have been gathered there to battle, and a portion of the field is full of barley, and the people have fled from the face of the Philistines,
14. and they station themselves in the midst of the portion, and deliver it, and smite the Philistines, and Jehovah saveth--a great salvation.
15. And three of the thirty heads go down on the rock unto David, unto the cave of Adullam, and the host of the Philistines is encamping in the valley of Rephaim,
16. and David [is] then in the fortress, and the station of the Philistines [is] then in Beth-Lehem,
17. and David longeth, and saith, `Who doth give me to drink water from the well of Beth-Lehem, that [is] at the gate!'
