1 Chronicles 11:15-20
15Now threeH7969 of the thirtyH7970 chiefH7218 menH7218 wentH3381 downH3381 to the rockH6697 to DavidH1732, into the caveH4631 of AdullamH5725, while 1the armyH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 was campingH2583 in the ValleyH6010 of RephaimH7497. 16DavidH1732 was thenH227 in the strongholdH4686, while 2the garrisonH5333 of the PhilistinesH6430 was thenH227 in BethlehemH1035. 17And DavidH1732 hadH183 a cravingH183 and saidH559, “OhH4310 that someoneH4310 would giveH8248 me waterH4325 toH8248 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; however, DavidH1732 wouldH14 not drinkH8354 it, but pouredH5258 it outH5258 to the LordH3068; 19and he saidH559, “FarH2486 be it from me beforeH4480 my GodH430 that I would doH6213 thisH2088. Shall I drinkH8354 the bloodH1818 of theseH428 menH376 who went 3at the risk of their livesH5315? For they broughtH935 it at the risk of their livesH5315.” Therefore he wouldH14 not drinkH8354 it. The threeH7969 mightyH1368 menH1368 didH6213 theseH428 thingsH428.
20As for 4AbshaiH52 the brotherH251 of JoabH3097, he was chiefH7218 of the 5thirtyH7970, and he wieldedH5782 his spearH2595 againstH5921 threeH7969 hundredH3967 6and killedH2491 them; and he had a nameH8034 7as well as the 8thirtyH7970.
