2Samuel:23:8-39

bbe@2Samuel:23:8 @These are the names of David's men of war: Ishbaal the Hachmonite, chief of the three; his axe was lifted up against eight hundred put to death at one time.

bbe@2Samuel:23:9 @After him was Eleazar, the son of Dodai the Ahohite, one of the three great fighters, who was with David in Pas-dammim when the Philistines came together there for the fight; and when the men of Israel had gone in flight,

bbe@2Samuel:23:10 @He was with David and went on fighting the Philistines till his hand became tired and stiff from gripping his sword: and that day the Lord gave a great salvation, and the people came back after him only to take the goods of the Philistines.

bbe@2Samuel:23:11 @After him was Shammah, the son of Ela the Hararite. And the Philistines came together in Lehi, where there was a bit of land full of seed; and the people went in flight from the Philistines.

bbe@2Samuel:23:12 @But he kept his place in the middle of the bit of land, and kept back their attack and overcame the Philistines: and the Lord gave a great salvation.

bbe@2Samuel:23:13 @And three of the thirty went down at the start of the grain-cutting, and they came to David at the strong place of Adullam; and the band of Philistines had taken up their position in the valley of Rephaim.

bbe@2Samuel:23:14 @And at that time David had taken cover in the strong place, and an armed force of the Philistines was in Beth-lehem.

bbe@2Samuel:23:15 @And David, moved by a strong desire, said, If only someone would give me a drink of water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem, by the doorway into the town!

bbe@2Samuel:23:16 @And the three men, forcing their way through the Philistine army, got water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem, by the doorway into the town, and took it back to David: but he would not take it, but, draining it out, made an offering of it to the Lord.

bbe@2Samuel:23:17 @And he said, Far be it from me, O Lord, to do this; how may I take as my drink the life-blood of men who have put their lives in danger? So he would not take it. These things did the three great men of war.

bbe@2Samuel:23:18 @And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the thirty

bbe@2Samuel:23:19 @Was he not the noblest of the thirty? so he was made their captain: but he was not equal to the first three.

bbe@2Samuel:23:20 @And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, a fighting man of Kabzeel, had done great acts; he put to death the two sons of Ariel of Moab: he went down into a hole and put a lion to death in time of snow:

bbe@2Samuel:23:21 @And he made an attack on an Egyptian, a tall man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a stick, and pulling the spear out of the hands of the Egyptian, put him to death with that same spear.

bbe@2Samuel:23:22 @These were the acts of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who had a great name among the thirty men of war.

bbe@2Samuel:23:23 @He was honoured over the rest of the thirty, but he was not equal to the first three. And David put him over the fighting men who kept him safe.
