lesserot@1Chronicles:11:19 @ And he said, Far be it from me, before my God, that I should do this: shall I drink the blood of these men that went at the risk of their lives? for at the risk of their lives did they bring it; and thus he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.

lesserot@1Chronicles:11:23 @ And he smote an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptians hand was a spear like a weavers beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and he snatched the spear out of the Egyptians hand, and slew him with his own spear.

lesserot@1Chronicles:11:24 @ These things did Benayah the son of Jehoyada; and he had a name among the mighty men.
