1Toto jsou Davidova poslední slova: Tak praví David, syn Jišajův, tak praví povýšený Nejvyšším, jehož pomazal Bůh Jákobův, líbezný pěvec izraelský.2Promlouvá ze mě Hospodinův Duch, jeho slovo ve svých ústech mám.3Toto mi řekl izraelský Bůh, On, skála Izraele, praví sám: Kdo lidem spravedlivě vládne, kdo v Boží bázni panuje,4je jako úsvit za východu slunce, jak jasné jitro bezmračné; je jako po dešti vyjasnění, když tráva raší ze země.5Kdyby můj dům před Bohem tak nestál, což by mi věčnou smlouvu dal, cele platnou a stvrzenou? Všechnu tu spásu, všechno to blaho by rozkvést nenechal!6Darebák jak trní vyvržen bude, rukou se takového nikdo nedotkne,7železo a tyč se na něj bere, oheň ho spálí tam, kde je!
Davidovi hrdinové
8Zde jsou jména Davidových hrdinů: Jošeb-bašebet Tachkemonský, velitel Trojice. Uměl to s kopím tak, že* jich jednou pobil na osm set.9Další z té trojice hrdinů byl Eleazar, syn Doda, syna Achochiova. Ten byl s Davidem, když se odvážili na Filištíny. Ti se shromáždili k boji, a tak vytáhli také Izraelci;10tehdy vstal a pobíjel Filištíny, až mu ruka ztuhla, že nemohl pustit meč. Lid jen postupoval za ním a obíral pobité. Hospodin toho dne způsobil veliké vítězství.11Po něm byl Šama, syn Agea Hararského. Filištíni se jednou shromáždili u dílu pole osetého čočkou a lid se před nimi dal na útěk.12Šama se ale postavil doprostřed toho pole, uhájil je a Filištíny odrazil. Hospodin tehdy způsobil veliké vítězství.13Tito tři z třicítky velitelů sestoupili o žních k Davidovi do jeskyně Adulam, když v údolí Refaim tábořil oddíl Filištínů.14David byl tehdy ve skalní pevnosti. Betlém byl obsazen Filištíny.15David tenkrát zatoužil: „Kéž bych se mohl napít vody z té betlémské studny u brány.“16A tak se ta trojice hrdinů probila do filištínského tábora a navážila vodu z betlémské studny u brány. Vzali ji a donesli Davidovi. Ten se jí ale odmítl napít, ale vylil ji jako oběť Hospodinu.17„Hospodin chraň,“ zvolal, „vždyť je to krev těch mužů! Šli tam s nasazením života!“ A nechtěl se napít. Takové činy konala tato trojice hrdinů.18Velitelem Třicítky* byl Joábův bratr Abišaj, syn Ceruji. Oháněl se kopím tak, že jich pobil na tři sta, a tak se stal stejně známým jako ona Trojice.19Vskutku, mezi Třicítkou byl slavný a byl jejich velitelem, ale Trojici se nevyrovnal.20Také Benajáš, syn Jojadův z Kabceelu, byl udatný bojovník mocných činů. To on zabil ty dva Moábce, kteří se bili jako lvi. A jednou slezl do jámy a zabil v ní lva, tenkrát, když napadl sníh.21Jindy šel a zabil Egypťana jen s holí v ruce. Egypťan vypadal hrozivě, byl ozbrojen kopím. On mu je ale vytrhl z ruky a zabil ho jím.22Takové činy konal Benajáš, syn Jojadův, a tak se stal stejně známým jako Trojice.23Mezi Třicítkou byl slavný, ale Trojici se nevyrovnal. David mu svěřil svou tělesnou stráž.24Ke Třicítce patřili: Asael, bratr Joábův, Elchanan, syn Doda Betlémského;25Šama Charodský; Elika Charodský;26Chelec Paltiský; Ira, syn Ikeše Tekojského;27Abiezer Anatotský; Sibechaj* Chušatský;28Calmon Achochijský; Mahraj Netofský;29Cheled, syn Baany Netofského; Itaj, syn Ribaje z benjamínské Gibeje;30Benajáš Piratonský; Hidaj od potoka Gaaš;31Abi-albon Arbatský; Azmavet Bachurimský;32Eliachba Šaalbonský; Jašenovi synové Jonatan,33syn* Šamy Hararského, Achiam, syn Šarara Hararského;34Elifelet, syn Achasbaje z Maaky; Eliam, syn Achitofela Gilonského;35Checro Karmelský; Paaraj Arbejský;36Jigal, syn Nátanův z Cóby; syn Hagriho;*37Selek Amonský; Nachraj Beerotský, zbrojnoš Joába, syna Ceruji;38Ira Jitrejský; Gareb Jitrejský;39a Uriáš Chetejský. Všech celkem bylo třicet sedm.

The Last Words of David
1Now these are the last words of David: The oracle of David, the son of Jesse, the oracle of the man who was raised on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel:*2“The Spirit of the Lord speaks by me; his word is on my tongue.3The God of Israel has spoken; the Rock of Israel has said to me: When one rules justly over men, ruling in the fear of God,4he dawns on them like the morning light, like the sun shining forth on a cloudless morning, like rain* that makes grass to sprout from the earth.5“For does not my house stand so with God? For he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things and secure. For will he not cause to prosper all my help and my desire?6But worthless men* are all like thorns that are thrown away, for they cannot be taken with the hand;7but the man who touches them arms himself with iron and the shaft of a spear, and they are utterly consumed with fire.”*
David’s Mighty Men
8These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshebeth a Tahchemonite; he was chief of the three.* He wielded his spear* against eight hundred whom he killed at one time.9And next to him among the three mighty men was Eleazar the son of Dodo, son of Ahohi. He was with David when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there for battle, and the men of Israel withdrew.10He rose and struck down the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clung to the sword. And the Lord brought about a great victory that day, and the men returned after him only to strip the slain.11And next to him was Shammah, the son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines gathered together at Lehi,* where there was a plot of ground full of lentils, and the men fled from the Philistines.12But he took his stand in the midst of the plot and defended it and struck down the Philistines, and the Lord worked a great victory.13And three of the thirty chief men went down and came about harvest time to David at the cave of Adullam, when a band of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.14David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then at Bethlehem.15And David said longingly, “Oh, that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem that is by the gate!”16Then the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate and carried and brought it to David. But he would not drink of it. He poured it out to the Lord17and said, “Far be it from me, O Lord, that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of the men who went at the risk of their lives?” Therefore he would not drink it. These things the three mighty men did.18Now Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the thirty.* And he wielded his spear against three hundred men* and killed them and won a name beside the three.19He was the most renowned of the thirty* and became their commander, but he did not attain to the three.20And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was a valiant man* of Kabzeel, a doer of great deeds. He struck down two ariels* of Moab. He also went down and struck down a lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen.21And he struck down an Egyptian, a handsome man. The Egyptian had a spear in his hand, but Benaiah went down to him with a staff and snatched the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand and killed him with his own spear.22These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and won a name beside the three mighty men.23He was renowned among the thirty, but he did not attain to the three. And David set him over his bodyguard.24Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,25Shammah of Harod, Elika of Harod,26Helez the Paltite, Ira the son of Ikkesh of Tekoa,27Abiezer of Anathoth, Mebunnai the Hushathite,28Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai of Netophah,29Heleb the son of Baanah of Netophah, Ittai the son of Ribai of Gibeah of the people of Benjamin,30Benaiah of Pirathon, Hiddai of the brooks of Gaash,31Abi-albon the Arbathite, Azmaveth of Bahurim,32Eliahba the Shaalbonite, the sons of Jashen, Jonathan,33Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam the son of Sharar the Hararite,34Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai of Maacah, Eliam the son of Ahithophel the Gilonite,35Hezro* of Carmel, Paarai the Arbite,36Igal the son of Nathan of Zobah, Bani the Gadite,37Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai of Beeroth, the armor-bearer of Joab the son of Zeruiah,38Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite,39Uriah the Hittite: thirty-seven in all.
