weary, and his hand clung to the sword: and vuvh brought
a great victory that day; and the people returned after him
only to spoil.
11 And after him was Shammah the son of Ahge the
Ararite. And the Plishtim were gathered together into a
company, where there was a piece of ground full of
lentils: and the people fled from the Plishtim.
12 But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended
it, and killed the Plishtim: and vuvh brought a great
victory.
13 And three of the valiant men went down, and came to
Dawid in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam: and the
troop of the Plishtim camped in the Valley of Refayim.
14 And Dawid was then in a stronghold, and the watchpost
of the Plishtim was then in Beth-Lechem.
15 And Dawid longed, and said, Oh that one would give
me drink from the mayim of the well of Beth-Lechem,
which is by the gate!
16 And the three mighty men broke through the army of
the Plishtim, and drew mayim out of the well of Beth-
Lechem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it
to Dawid: nevertheless he would not drink it, but poured
it out to vuvh.
17 And he said, Be it far from me, O vuvh, that I should
do this: is not this the dahm of the men that went in
jeopardy of their lives? Therefore he would not drink it.
These things did these three mighty men.
18 And Avishai, the brother of Yoav, the son of
Tzuruyah, was first among three. And he lifted up his
spear against three hundred, and killed them, and had a
name among three.
19 Was he not most honorable of the three? Therefore he
was their captain: but he did not come to the first three.
20 And Benanyahu the son of Yahuyadah, the son of a
brave man, of Kavzeel, who had done many acts, he
killed two men like lions of Moav: he went down also and
killed a lion in the midst of a pit in the time of snow:
21 And he killed a Mitzri, an impressive man: and the
Mitzri had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him
with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Mitzri's
hand, and killed him with his own spear.
22 These things did Benanyahu of Yahuyadah, and had
the name among three mighty men.
23 He was more honorable than the thirty, but he attained
not to the first three. And Dawid set him over his guard.
24 Asah-El the brother of Yoav was one of the thirty;
Elchanan the son of Dodo of Beth-Lechem,

And again the anger of vuvh was lit against Yisrael,
and He moved Dawid against them to say, Go, number
847 848
Yisrael and Yahudah.
2 For the melech said to Yoav the captain of the army,
who was with him, Go now through all the tribes of
Yisrael, from Dan even to Be-er-Sheva, and number the
people, that I may know the number of the people.
3 And Yoav said to the melech, Now even if vuvh your
Elohim adds to the people, a hundredfold more than there
are, so that the eyes of my master the melech may see it:
why does my master the melech delight in this thing?
4 Nevertheless the melech's word prevailed against Yoav,
and against the officers of the army. And Yoav and the
officers of the army went out from the presence of the
melech, to number the people of Yisrael.
5 And they passed over the Yarden River, and camped in
Aroer, on the right side of the city that lies in the midst of
the river of Gad, and toward Yazer:
6 Then they came to Gilad, and to the land of Tahtim-
Hodshi; and they came to Dan-Yaan, and around to
Tzidon,
7 And came to the stronghold of Tzor, and to all the cities
of the Hivites, and of the Kanaanites: and they went out to
the south of Yahudah, even to Be-er-Sheva.
8 So when they had gone through all the land, they came
to Yahrushalayim at the end of nine months and twenty
days.
9 And Yoav gave the sum of the number of the people to
the melech: and there were in Yisrael eight hundred
thousand brave men that drew the sword; and the men of
Yahudah were five hundred thousand men.
10 And Dawid's lev convicted him after he had numbered
the people. And Dawid said to vuvh, I have sinned greatly
in what I have done: and now, I beseech you, O vuvh,
take away the Torah violations of Your eved; for I have
done very foolishly.
11 For when Dawid was up in the morning, the word of
vuvh came to the navi Gad, Dawid's seer, saying,
12 Go and say to Dawid, This says vuvh, I offer you three
things; choose one of them, that I may do it to you.
13 So Gad came to Dawid, and told him, and said to him,
Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or,
will you flee three months before your enemies, while
they pursue you? Or, will you that there be three days'
pestilence in your land? Now advise me, and see what
answer I shall return to Him that sent me.
14 And Dawid said to Gad, I am in a great trouble now:
let us fall now into the hand of vuvh, for His rachamim
are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man.
15 So vuvh sent a pestilence upon Yisrael from the
morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the
people from Dan even to Be-er-Sheva seventy thousand
men.
16 And when the Malach stretched out His hand upon
Yahrushalayim to destroy it, vuvh relented of the evil, and
said to the Malach that destroyed the people, It is enough:
now stop Your hand. And the Malach-vuvh was by the
