American Standard Version

1 Chronicles 11:6-14 American Standard Version (ASV)

6. And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.

7. And David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore they called it the city of David.

8. And he built the city round about, from Millo even round about; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

9. And David waxed greater and greater; for Jehovah 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 word of Jehovah concerning Israel.

11. And 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 slew them at one time.

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

13. He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.

14. And they stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and slew the Philistines; and Jehovah saved them by a great victory.
