011:017 David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me water to drink
of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!
011:018 The three broke through the army 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 Yahweh,
011:019 and said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this:
shall I drink the blood of these men who 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 the three mighty men.
011:020 Abishai, the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three;
for he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them,
and had a name among the three.
011:021 Of the three, he was more honorable than the two, and was made
their captain: however he didn't attain to the [first] three.
011:022 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel,
who had done mighty deeds, he killed the two [sons of] Ariel
of Moab: he went down also and killed a lion in the midst
of a pit in time of snow.
011:023 He killed 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 killed him with his own spear.
011:024 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had a name
among the three mighty men.
011:025 Behold, he was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn't
attain to the [first] three: and David set him over his guard.
