6. Then David said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first will be chief and commander.” And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first and became chief.
7. And David lived in the fortress. Therefore they called it the city of David.
8. And he built the city all around from the Millo and up to the circuit. And Joab restored the remainder of the city.
9. And David became greater and greater. And Yahweh of hosts was with him.
10. Now these are the chiefs of the mighty men who were for David, who gave him strong support in his kingdom, together with all Israel to make him king according to the word of Yahweh concerning Israel.
11. And this is the numbering of the mighty warriors who were for David: Jashobeam son of Hachmoni was chief of the three. He himself raised his spear against three hundred whom he killed on one occasion.
12. And after him was Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite. He was among the three mighty warriors.
13. He himself was with David at Pas-Dammim when the Philistines were gathered there for the battle. And there was a plot of the field filled with barley, and the people fled before the Philistines.
14. But they took their stand in the middle of the plot and defended it. And they killed the Philistines. And Yahweh saved them with a great victory.
15. And three of the thirty chiefs went down toward the rock to David at the cave of Adullam when the army of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
16. And David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
