2 Samuel 23:17-18

17and he said, “Be it far from me, O Lord, that I should do this. 1Shall I drink the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives?” Therefore he would not drink it. These things the three mighty men did.

18 2Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was 3chief of the 4thirty. And he swung his spear against three hundred 5and killed them, and had a name as well as the three.
