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.
13:011:026 Also the valiant men of the armies were,
Asahel the brother of
Joab,
Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,
13:011:027 Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite,
13:011:028 Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abiezer the Antothite,
13:011:029 Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite,
13:011:030 Maharai the Netophathite, Heled the son
of Baanah the
Netophathite,
13:011:031 Ithai the son of Ribai of Gibeah, that
pertained to the
children
of Benjamin, Benaiah the Pirathonite,
13:011:032 Hurai of the brooks of Gaash, Abiel the Arbathite,
