Bible. Chronicles, 1st
13:011:011 And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had;
Jashobeam, an Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted
up his spear against three hundred slain by him at one time.
13:011:012 And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who
was one of the three mighties.
13:011:013 He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were
gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground full
of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.
13:011:014 And they set themselves in the midst of that parcel, and
delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved
them by a great deliverance.
13:011:015 Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to
David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the
Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
13:011:016 And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines' garrison
was then at Bethlehem.
13:011:017 And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of
the water of the well of Bethlehem, that is at the gate!
13:011:018 And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and
drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate,
and took it, and brought it to David: but David would not
drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD.
13:011:019 And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing:
shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives
in jeopardy? for with the jeopardy of their lives they brought
it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these
three mightiest.
13:011:020 And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three:
for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew them,
and had a name among the three.
13:011:021 Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was
their captain: howbeit he attained not to the first three.
13:011:022 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of
Kabzeel, who had done many acts; he slew two lionlike men of
Moab: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy
day.
13:011:023 And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits
high; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's
beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the
spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own
spear.
13:011:024 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name
among the three mighties.
13:011:025 Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but attained not
to the first three: and David set him over his guard.
