6. And Dawiḏ said, “Whoever smites the Yeḇusites first becomes chief and commander.” And Yo’aḇ son of Tseruyah went up first, and became chief.
7. And Dawiḏ dwelt in the stronghold, so they called it the City of Dawiḏ.
8. And he built the city around it, from Millo round about, and Yo’aḇ revived the rest of the city.
9. And Dawiḏ went on and became great, and יהוה of hosts was with him.
10. And these were the heads of the mighty men whom Dawiḏ had, who strengthened themselves with him in his reign, with all Yisra’ĕl, to set him up to reign over Yisraĕl, according to the word of יהוה.
11. And this is the number of the mighty men whom Dawiḏ had: Yashoḇ‛am son of a Ḥaḵmonite, chief of the thirty. He had lifted up his spear against three hundred, slain at one time.
12. And after him was El‛azar son of Doḏo, the Aḥoḥite, who was one of the three mighty men.
13. He was with Dawiḏ at Pasdammim, and the Philistines were gathered there for battle, and a portion of the field was filled with barley, and the people had fled before the Philistines.
