2 Samuel 23:17-18

17and he said, “Far be it from me, Lord, that I would do this! 1Should I drink the blood of the men who went at the risk of their lives?” So he would not drink it. These things the three mighty men did.

18Now 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 6as well as the three.
