1 Chronicles 11:12-29

12Next in command wasH310 EleazarH499 sonH1121 of DodoH17341 the AhohiteH266H1931, one of the threeH7969 mighty menH1368. 13HeH1931 wasH1961 withH5973 DavidH1732 at Pas-dammimH6450 when the PhilistinesH6430 gatheredH622 thereH8033 for battleH4421. AtH1961 a placeH2513 with a fieldH7704 full ofH4392 barleyH8184, the troopsH5971 fledH5127 fromH6440 the PhilistinesH6430. 14But Eleazar and David stationed themselvesH33202 in the middleH8432 of the fieldH2513 and defended itH5337. They struck downH5221 the PhilistinesH6430, and the LORDH3068 brought aboutH3467 a greatH1419 victoryH8668.

15ThreeH7969 ofH4480 the thirtyH7970 chief menH7218 went downH3381 toH413 DavidH1732, toH5921 the rockH6697 atH413 the caveH4631 of AdullamH5725, while a companyH4264 of PhilistinesH6430 was encampedH2583 in the ValleyH6010 of RephaimH7497. 16At that timeH227 DavidH1732 was in the strongholdH4686, and the garrisonH5333 of the PhilistinesH6430H227 was at BethlehemH1035. 17DavidH1732 longed for waterH183 and saidH559, “Oh, that someoneH4310 would get me a drinkH8248 of waterH4325 from the wellH953 near the gateH8179 of BethlehemH1035!”

18So the ThreeH7969 brokeH1234 through the PhilistineH6430 campH4264, drewH7579 waterH4325 from the wellH953 at the gateH8179H5375 of BethlehemH1035, and brought itH935 back toH413 DavidH1732. But heH1732 refusedH3808H14 to drink itH8354; instead, he poured it outH5258 to the LORDH3068, 19sayingH559, “Far be itH2486 from me, my GodH430, to doH6213 thisH2063! How can I drinkH8354 the bloodH1818 of theseH428 menH582 who risked their livesH5315?” BecauseH3588 they had brought itH935 at the risk of their livesH5315, David refusedH14H3808 to drink itH8354.

SuchH428 were the exploitsH6213 of the threeH7969 mighty menH1368.

20Now AbishaiH52, the brotherH251 of JoabH3097, wasH1961 chiefH7218 of the ThreeH7969H1931,3 and heH1931 wieldedH5782 his spearH2595 againstH5921 threeH7969 hundredH3967 men, killedH2491 them, and wonH3808 a nameH8034 along with the ThreeH7969. 21He was doublyH8147 honoredH3513 aboveH4480 the ThreeH7969, and he becameH1961 their commanderH8269H5704, even though he was notH3808 includedH935 among the ThreeH7969.

22And BenaiahH1141 sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 was a manH1121H376 of valorH2428 fromH4480 KabzeelH6909, a man of manyH7227 exploitsH6467. He struck downH5221 twoH8147 championsH739 of MoabH4124,4 and on a snowyH7950 dayH3117 heH1931 went downH3381 intoH8432 a pitH953 and killedH5221 a lionH738. 23HeH1931 also struck downH5221 an EgyptianH4713, a hugeH376 manH4060 fiveH2568 cubitsH520 tall.5 Although the EgyptianH4713 had a spearH2595 like a weaver’sH707 beamH4500 in his handH3027, Benaiah went againstH3381 himH413 with a clubH7626, snatchedH1497 the spearH2595 fromH4713 his handH3027, and killedH2026 the Egyptian with his own spearH2595. 24TheseH428 were the exploitsH6213 of BenaiahH1141 sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, who won a nameH8034 along with the threeH7969 mighty menH1368. 25He was most honoredH3513 amongH4480 the ThirtyH7970H2005, but heH1931 did notH3808 becomeH935 one ofH413 the ThreeH7969. And DavidH1732 appointed himH7760 overH5921 his guardH4928.

26Now these were the mighty menH1368H2428:

AsahelH6214 the brotherH251 of JoabH3097, ElhananH445 sonH1121 of DodoH1734 ofH1035 BethlehemH1035, 27ShammothH8054 the HaroriteH2033,6 HelezH2503 the PeloniteH6397, 28IraH5896 sonH1121 of IkkeshH6142 the TekoiteH8621, AbiezerH44 the AnathothiteH6069, 29SibbecaiH5444 the HushathiteH2843, IlaiH5866 the AhohiteH266,
