1 Chronicles 11:12-29

12AfterH310 him was EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of 1DodoH1734, the AhohiteH266, whoH1931 was 2one of the threeH7969 mightyH1368 menH1368. 13He was with DavidH1732 at 3PasdammimH6450 4when the PhilistinesH6430 were gatheredH622 together thereH8033 to battleH4421, and there was a plotH2513 of groundH7704 fullH4392 of barleyH8184; and the peopleH5971 fledH5127 beforeH4480H6440 the PhilistinesH6430. 14They tookH3320 their standH3320 in the midstH8432 of the plotH2513 and defendedH5337 it, and struckH5221 downH5221 the PhilistinesH6430; and the LordH3068 savedH3467 them by a greatH1419 5victoryH8668.

15Now threeH7969 of the thirtyH7970 chiefH7218 menH7218 wentH3381 downH3381 to the rockH6697 to DavidH1732, into the caveH4631 of AdullamH5725, while 6the armyH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 was campingH2583 in the valleyH6010 of RephaimH7497. 16DavidH1732 was thenH227 in the strongholdH4686, while 7the garrisonH5333 of the PhilistinesH6430 was thenH227 in BethlehemH1035. 17DavidH1732 hadH183 a cravingH183 and saidH559, “OhH4310 that someoneH4310 would giveH8248 me waterH4325 to drinkH8248 from the wellH953 of BethlehemH1035, whichH834 is by the gateH8179!” 18So the threeH7969 brokeH1234 throughH1234 the campH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 and drewH7579 waterH4325 from the wellH953 of BethlehemH1035 whichH834 was by the gateH8179, and tookH5375 it and broughtH935 it to DavidH1732; nevertheless DavidH1732 wouldH14 not drinkH8354 it, but pouredH5258 it out to the LordH3068; 19and he saidH559, “Be it farH2486 from me beforeH4480 my GodH430 that I should doH6213 thisH2088. Shall I drinkH8354 the bloodH1818 of theseH428 menH376 who went 8at the risk of their livesH5315? For at the risk of their livesH5315 they broughtH935 it.” Therefore he wouldH14 not drinkH8354 it. TheseH428 thingsH428 the threeH7969 mightyH1368 menH1368 didH6213.

20As for 9AbshaiH52 the brotherH251 of JoabH3097, he was chiefH7218 of the 10thirtyH7970, and he swungH5782 his spearH2595 againstH5921 threeH7969 hundredH3967 11and killedH2491 them; and he had a nameH8034 as well as the 12thirtyH7970. 21Of the threeH7969 in the secondH8147 rank he was the most honoredH3513 and becameH1961 their commanderH8269; however, he did not attainH935 to the first threeH7969.

2213BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, the sonH1121 of a valiantH2428 manH376 of KabzeelH6909, mightyH7227 in deedsH6467, struckH5221 downH5221 the 14twoH8147 sons of ArielH739 of MoabH4124. He also wentH3381 downH3381 and 15killedH5221 a lionH738 insideH8432 a pitH953 on a snowyH7950 dayH3117. 23He 16killedH5221 an EgyptianH4713, a manH376 of great statureH4060 fiveH2568 17cubitsH520 tall. Now in the Egyptian’sH4713 handH3027 was 18a spearH2595 like a weaver’sH707 beamH4500, but he wentH3381 downH3381 to him with a clubH7626 and snatchedH1497 the spearH2595 from the Egyptian’sH4713 handH3027 and 19killedH2026 him with his own spearH2595. 24TheseH428 things BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 didH6213, and had a nameH8034 as well as the threeH7969 mightyH1368 menH1368. 25BeholdH2009, he was honoredH3513 amongH4480 the thirtyH7970, but he did not attainH935 to the threeH7969; and DavidH1732 appointedH7760 him overH5921 his guardH4928.

26Now the mightyH1368 menH1368 of the armiesH2428 were AsahelH6214 the brotherH251 of JoabH3097, ElhananH445 the sonH1121 of DodoH1734 of BethlehemH1035, 2720ShammothH8054 the HaroriteH2033, HelezH2503 the 21PeloniteH6397, 28IraH5896 the sonH1121 of IkkeshH6142 the TekoiteH8621, AbiezerH44 the AnathothiteH6069, 2922SibbecaiH5444 the HushathiteH2843, 23IlaiH5866 the AhohiteH266,
