*
Now these were the heads of the mighty men whom David had ,
who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom ,
with all Israel ,
to make him king ,
according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel .
*
And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had :
Jashobeam the son of a Hachmonite ,
chief of the captains ;
he had lifted up his spear against three hundred ,
killed by him at one time .
*
After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo ,
the Ahohite ,
who was one of the three mighty men .
*
He was with David at Pasdammim .
Now there the Philistines were gathered for battle ,
and there was a piece of ground full of barley .
So the people fled from the Philistines .
*
But they stationed themselves in the middle of that field ,
defended it ,
and killed the Philistines .
So the LORD brought about a great victory .
*
Now three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David ,
into the cave of Adullam ;
and the army of the Philistines encamped in the Valley of Rephaim .
*
David was then in the stronghold ,
and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem .
*
And David said with longing , "
Oh ,
that someone would give me a drink of water from the well of Bethlehem ,
which is by the gate !"
*
So the three broke through the camp of the Philistines ,
drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate ,
and took it and brought it to David .
Nevertheless David would not drink it ,
but poured it out to the LORD .
*
And he said , "
Far be it from me ,
O my God ,
that I should do this !
Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy ?
For at the risk of their lives they brought it ."
Therefore he would not drink it .
These things were done by the three mighty men .
*
Abishai the brother of Joab was chief of another three .
He had lifted up his spear against three hundred men ,
killed them ,
and won a name among these three .
*
Of the three he was more honored than the other two men .
Therefore he became their captain .
However he did not attain to the first three .
*
Benaiah was the son of Jehoiada ,
the son of a valiant man from Kabzeel ,
who had done many deeds .
He had killed two lion-like heroes of Moab .
He also had gone down and killed a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day .
*
And he killed an Egyptian ,
a man of great height ,
five cubits tall .
In the Egyptian '
s hand there was a spear like a weaver '
s beam ;
and he went down to him with a staff ,
wrested the spear out of the Egyptian '
s hand ,
and killed him with his own spear .
*
These things Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did ,
and won a name among three mighty men .
*
Indeed he was more honored than the thirty ,
but he did not attain to the first three .
And David appointed him over his guard .
