New Testament

1 Chronicles 11:5-12 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

5. The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will not come in here.” Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. The same is David’s city.

6. David said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.” Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.

7. David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it David’s city.

8. He built the city all around, from Millo even around; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

9. David grew greater and greater; for the Lord of Hosts was with him.

10. Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the Lord’s word concerning Israel.

11. This is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty; he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them at one time.

12. After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.
