*
Then the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines ,
and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem which was by the gate ,
and took and brought it to David .
But he would not drink of it ;
he poured it out to the LORD ,
*
and said , "
Far be it from me ,
O LORD ,
that I should do this .
Shall I drink the blood of the men who went at the risk of their lives ?"
Therefore he would not drink it .
These things did the three mighty men .
*
Now Abi '
shai ,
the brother of Jo '
ab ,
the son of Zeru '
iah ,
was chief of the thirty .
And he wielded his spear against three hundred men and slew them ,
and won a name beside the three .
*
He was the most renowned of the thirty ,
and became their commander ;
but he did not attain to the three .
*
And Benai '
ah the son of Jehoi '
ada was a valiant man of Kabzeel ,
a doer of great deeds ;
he smote two ariels of Moab .
He also went down and slew a lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen .
*
And he slew an Egyptian ,
a handsome man .
The Egyptian had a spear in his hand ;
but Benai '
ah went down to him with a staff ,
and snatched the spear out of the Egyptian '
s hand ,
and slew him with his own spear .
*
These things did Benai '
ah the son of Jehoi '
ada ,
and won a name beside the three mighty men .
