1 Chronicles 11:11-20

11These constitute the list of the mighty men whom David had: 1Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, 2the chief of the thirty; he lifted up his spear against three hundred 3whom he killed at one time.

12After him was Eleazar the son of 4Dodo, the Ahohite, who was 5one of the three mighty men. 13He was with David at 6Pasdammim 7when the Philistines were gathered together there to battle, and there was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled before the Philistines. 14They took their stand in the midst of the plot and defended it, and struck down the Philistines; and the Lord saved them by a great 8victory.

15Now three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam, while 9the army of the Philistines was camping in the valley of Rephaim. 16David was then in the stronghold, while 10the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem. 17David had a craving and said, “Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!” 18So the three broke through the camp of the Philistines and drew water from the well of Bethlehem which was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David; nevertheless David would not drink it, but poured it out to the Lord; 19and he said, “Be it far from me before my God that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of these men who went 11at the risk of their lives? For at the risk of their lives they brought it.” Therefore he would not drink it. These things the three mighty men did.

20As for 12Abshai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the 13thirty, and he swung his spear against three hundred 14and killed them; and he had a name as well as the 15thirty.
