Old Testament

New Testament

1 Chronicles 11:6-11 Amplified Bible (AMP)

6. And David said, Whoever smites the Jebusites first shall be chief and commander. Joab son of Zeruiah [David's half sister] went up first, and so he was made chief.

7. David dwelt in the stronghold; so it was called the City of David.

8. He built the city from the Millo [a fortification] on around; and Joab repaired and revived the rest of the [old Jebusite] city.

9. And David became greater and greater, for the Lord of hosts was with him.

10. Now these are the chiefs of David's mighty men, who strongly supported him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the Lord concerning Israel.

11. And this is the number [thirty, and list] of David's mighty men: Jashobeam, a Hachmonite, the chief of the Thirty [captains]. He lifted up his spear against 300, whom he slew at one time.
