2╙┴ 23:1 ╬OW THESE BE THE LAST WORDS OF ─AVID. ─AVID THE SON OF ╩ESSE SAID, AND THE MAN WHO WAS RAISED UP ON HIGH, THE ANOINTED OF THE ╟OD OF ╩ACOB, AND THE SWEET PSALMIST OF ╔SRAEL, SAID,
2╙┴ 23:2 ╘HE ╙PIRIT OF THE ╠╧╥─ SPAKE BY ME, AND HIS WORD WAS IN MY TONGUE.
2╙┴ 23:3 ╘HE ╟OD OF ╔SRAEL SAID, THE ╥OCK OF ╔SRAEL SPAKE TO ME, ╚E THAT RULETH OVER MEN MUST BE JUST, RULING IN THE FEAR OF ╟OD.
2╙┴ 23:4 ┴ND 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.
2╙┴ 23:5 ┴LTHOUGH MY HOUSE BE NOT SO WITH ╟OD; 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.
2╙┴ 23:6 ┬UT THE SONS OF ┬ELIAL SHALL BE ALL OF THEM AS THORNS THRUST AWAY, BECAUSE THEY CANNOT BE TAKEN WITH HANDS:
2╙┴ 23:7 ┬UT 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.
2╙┴ 23:8 ╘HESE BE THE NAMES OF THE MIGHTY MEN WHOM ─AVID HAD: ╘HE ╘ACHMONITE THAT SAT IN THE SEAT, CHIEF AMONG THE CAPTAINS; THE SAME WAS ┴DINO THE ┼ZNITE: HE LIFT UP HIS SPEAR AGAINST EIGHT HUNDRED, WHOM HE SLEW AT ONE TIME.
2╙┴ 23:9 ┴ND AFTER HIM WAS ┼LEAZAR THE SON OF ─ODO THE ┴HOHITE, ONE OF THE THREE MIGHTY MEN WITH ─AVID, WHEN THEY DEFIED THE ╨HILISTINES THAT WERE THERE GATHERED TOGETHER TO BATTLE, AND THE MEN OF ╔SRAEL WERE GONE AWAY:
2╙┴ 23:10 ╚E AROSE, AND SMOTE THE ╨HILISTINES UNTIL HIS HAND WAS WEARY, AND HIS HAND CLAVE UNTO THE SWORD: AND THE ╠╧╥─ WROUGHT A GREAT VICTORY THAT DAY; AND THE PEOPLE RETURNED AFTER HIM ONLY TO SPOIL.
2╙┴ 23:11 ┴ND AFTER HIM WAS ╙HAMMAH THE SON OF ┴GEE THE ╚ARARITE. ┴ND THE ╨HILISTINES WERE GATHERED TOGETHER INTO A TROOP, WHERE WAS A PIECE OF GROUND FULL OF LENTILES: AND THE PEOPLE FLED FROM THE ╨HILISTINES.
2╙┴ 23:12 ┬UT HE STOOD IN THE MIDST OF THE GROUND, AND DEFENDED IT, AND SLEW THE ╨HILISTINES: AND THE ╠╧╥─ WROUGHT A GREAT VICTORY.
2╙┴ 23:13 ┴ND THREE OF THE THIRTY CHIEF WENT DOWN, AND CAME TO ─AVID IN THE HARVEST TIME UNTO THE CAVE OF ┴DULLAM: AND THE TROOP OF THE ╨HILISTINES PITCHED IN THE VALLEY OF ╥EPHAIM.
2╙┴ 23:14 ┴ND ─AVID WAS THEN IN AN HOLD, AND THE GARRISON OF THE ╨HILISTINES WAS THEN IN ┬ETHLEHEM.
2╙┴ 23:15 ┴ND ─AVID LONGED, AND SAID, ╧H THAT ONE WOULD GIVE ME DRINK OF THE WATER OF THE WELL OF ┬ETHLEHEM, WHICH IS BY THE GATE!
2╙┴ 23:16 ┴ND THE THREE MIGHTY MEN BRAKE THROUGH THE HOST OF THE ╨HILISTINES, AND DREW WATER OUT OF THE WELL OF ┬ETHLEHEM, THAT WAS BY THE GATE, AND TOOK IT, AND BROUGHT IT TO ─AVID: NEVERTHELESS HE WOULD NOT DRINK THEREOF, BUT POURED IT OUT UNTO THE ╠╧╥─.
2╙┴ 23:17 ┴ND HE SAID, ┬E IT FAR FROM ME, ╧ ╠╧╥─, THAT ╔ SHOULD DO THIS: IS NOT THIS THE BLOOD OF THE MEN THAT WENT IN JEOPARDY OF THEIR LIVES? THEREFORE HE WOULD NOT DRINK IT. ╘HESE THINGS DID THESE THREE MIGHTY MEN.
2╙┴ 23:18 ┴ND ┴BISHAI, THE BROTHER OF ╩OAB, THE SON OF ┌ERUIAH, WAS CHIEF AMONG THREE. ┴ND HE LIFTED UP HIS SPEAR AGAINST THREE HUNDRED, AND SLEW THEM, AND HAD THE NAME AMONG THREE.
2╙┴ 23:19 ╫AS HE NOT MOST HONOURABLE OF THREE? THEREFORE HE WAS THEIR CAPTAIN: HOWBEIT HE ATTAINED NOT UNTO THE FIRST THREE.
2╙┴ 23:20 ┴ND ┬ENAIAH THE SON OF ╩EHOIADA, THE SON OF A VALIANT MAN, OF ╦ABZEEL, WHO HAD DONE MANY ACTS, HE SLEW TWO LIONLIKE MEN OF ═OAB: HE WENT DOWN ALSO AND SLEW A LION IN THE MIDST OF A PIT IN TIME OF SNOW:
2╙┴ 23:21 ┴ND HE SLEW AN ┼GYPTIAN, A GOODLY MAN: AND THE ┼GYPTIAN HAD A SPEAR IN HIS HAND; BUT HE WENT DOWN TO HIM WITH A STAFF, AND PLUCKED THE SPEAR OUT OF THE ┼GYPTIAN'S HAND, AND SLEW HIM WITH HIS OWN SPEAR.
2╙┴ 23:22 ╘HESE THINGS DID ┬ENAIAH THE SON OF ╩EHOIADA, AND HAD THE NAME AMONG THREE MIGHTY MEN.
2╙┴ 23:23 ╚E WAS MORE HONOURABLE THAN THE THIRTY, BUT HE ATTAINED NOT TO THE FIRST THREE. ┴ND ─AVID SET HIM OVER HIS GUARD.
2╙┴ 23:24 ┴SAHEL THE BROTHER OF ╩OAB WAS ONE OF THE THIRTY; ┼LHANAN THE SON OF ─ODO OF ┬ETHLEHEM,
2╙┴ 23:25 ╙HAMMAH THE ╚ARODITE, ┼LIKA THE ╚ARODITE,
