1 Chronicles 11:12-29

12And afterH310 him was EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of DodoH1734, the AhohiteH266, who was one of the threeH7969 mightiesH1368. 13He was with DavidH1732 at Pas–dammimH6450, and there the PhilistinesH6430 were gathered togetherH622 to battleH4421, where was a parcelH2513 of groundH7704 fullH4392 of barleyH8184; and the peopleH5971 fledH5127 from beforeH6440 the PhilistinesH6430.1 14And they setH3320 themselves in the midstH8432 of that parcelH2513, and deliveredH5337 it, and slewH5221 the PhilistinesH6430; And YhwhH3068 savedH3467 them by a greatH1419 deliveranceH8668.23

15Now threeH7969 of the thirtyH7970 captainsH7218 went downH3381 to the rockH6697 to DavidH1732, into the caveH4631 of AdullamH5725; and the armyH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 encampedH2583 in the valleyH6010 of RephaimH7497.4 16And DavidH1732 was then in the holdH4686, and the Philistines’H6430 garrisonH5333 was then at Beth–lehemH1035. 17And DavidH1732 longedH183, and saidH559, Oh that one would give me drinkH8248 of the waterH4325 of the wellH953 of Beth–lehemH1035, that is at the gateH8179! 18And the threeH7969 brake throughH1234 the armyH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430, and drewH7579 waterH4325 out of the wellH953 of Beth–lehemH1035, that was by the gateH8179, and tookH5375 it, and broughtH935 it to DavidH1732: but DavidH1732 wouldH14 not drinkH8354 of it, but poured it outH5258 to YhwhH3068, 19And saidH559, My GodH430 forbidH2486 it me, that I should doH6213 this thingH2063: shall I drinkH8354 the bloodH1818 of these menH582 that have put their lives in jeopardyH5315? for with the jeopardy of their livesH5315 they broughtH935 it. Therefore he wouldH14 not drinkH8354 it. These things didH6213 these threeH7969 mightiestH1368.5

20And AbishaiH52 the brotherH251 of JoabH3097, he was chiefH7218 of the threeH7969: for lifting upH5782 his spearH2595 against threeH7969 hundredH3967, he slewH2491 them, and had a nameH8034 among the threeH7969. 21Of the threeH7969, he was more honourableH3513 than the twoH8147; for he was their captainH8269: howbeit he attainedH935 not to the first threeH7969. 22BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, the sonH1121 of a valiantH2428 manH376 of KabzeelH6909, who had done manyH7227 actsH6467; he slewH5221 twoH8147 lionlike menH739 of MoabH4124: also he went downH3381 and slewH5221 a lionH738 inH8432 a pitH953 in a snowyH7950 dayH3117.6 23And he slewH5221 an EgyptianH4713, a manH376 of great statureH4060, fiveH2568 cubitsH520 high; and in the Egyptian’sH4713 handH3027 was a spearH2595 like a weaver’sH707 beamH4500; and he went downH3381 to him with a staffH7626, and pluckedH1497 the spearH2595 out of the Egyptian’sH4713 handH3027, and slewH2026 him with his own spearH2595.7 24These things didH6213 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, and had the nameH8034 among the threeH7969 mightiesH1368. 25BeholdH2009, he was honourableH3513 among the thirtyH7970, but attainedH935 not to the first threeH7969: and DavidH1732 setH7760 him over his guardH4928.

26Also the valiant menH1368 of the armiesH2428 were, AsahelH6214 the brotherH251 of JoabH3097, ElhananH445 the sonH1121 of DodoH1734 of Beth–lehemH1035, 27ShammothH8054 the HaroriteH2033, HelezH2503 the PeloniteH6397,8910 28IraH5896 the sonH1121 of IkkeshH6142 the TekoiteH8621, Abi–ezerH44 the AntothiteH6069, 29SibbecaiH5444 the HushathiteH2843, IlaiH5866 the AhohiteH266,1112
