New American Standard Bible
Chapter 11
15
Now three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam, while the army of the Philistines was camping in the Valley of Rephaim.
16
David was then in the stronghold, while the garrison of the Philistines
was
then in Bethlehem.
17
And David had a craving and said, 'Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!'
18
So the three broke through the camp of the Philistines and drew water from the well of Bethlehem which
was
by the gate, and took
it
and brought
it
to David; however, David would not drink it, but poured it out to the
Lord
;
19
and he said, 'Far be it from me before my God that I would do this. Shall I drink the blood of these men
who went
at the risk of their lives? For they brought it at the risk of their lives.' Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.
20
As for Abshai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the thirty, and he wielded his spear against three hundred and killed them; and he had a name as well as the thirty.
21
Of the three in the second
rank
he was the most honored, and he became their commander; however, he did not attain
the reputation
of the
first
three.
22
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a warrior of Kabzeel, mighty in deeds, struck and killed the two
sons of
Ariel of Moab. He also went down and struck and killed a lion inside a pit on a snowy day.
King James Version
Chapter 11
15
Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
16
And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem.
17
And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, that is at the gate!
18
And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to the
Lord
,
19
And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest.
20
And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew them, and had a name among the three.
21
Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was their captain: howbeit he attained not to the first three.
22
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done many acts; he slew two lionlike men of Moab: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 11
15
Three of the thirty chief men went down to David, to the rock at the cave of Adullam, while the Philistine army was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.
16
At that time David was in the stronghold, and a Philistine garrison was at Bethlehem.
17
David was extremely thirsty and said, "If only someone would bring me water to drink from the well at the city gate of Bethlehem!"
18
So the Three broke through the Philistine camp and drew water from the well at the gate of Bethlehem. They brought it back to David, but he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out to the
Lord
.
19
David said, "I would never do such a thing in the presence of my God! How can I drink the blood of these men who risked their lives?" For they brought it at the risk of their lives. So he would not drink it. Such were the exploits of the three warriors.
20
Abishai, Joab’s brother, was the leader of the Three. He raised his spear against three hundred men and killed them, gaining a reputation among the Three.
21
He was more honored than the Three and became their commander even though he did not become one of the Three.
22
Benaiah son of Jehoiada was the son of a brave man from Kabzeel, a man of many exploits. Benaiah killed two sons of Ariel of Moab, and he went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion.
New Living Translation
Chapter 11
15
Once when David was at the rock near the cave of Adullam, the Philistine army was camped in the valley of Rephaim. The Three (who were among the Thirty — an elite group among David’s fighting men) went down to meet him there.
16
David was staying in the stronghold at the time, and a Philistine detachment had occupied the town of Bethlehem.
17
David remarked longingly to his men, 'Oh, how I would love some of that good water from the well by the gate in Bethlehem.'
18
So the Three broke through the Philistine lines, drew some water from the well by the gate in Bethlehem, and brought it back to David. But David refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out as an offering to the
Lord
.
19
God forbid that I should drink this!' he exclaimed. 'This water is as precious as the blood of these men who risked their lives to bring it to me.' So David did not drink it. These are examples of the exploits of the Three.
20
Abishai, the brother of Joab, was the leader of the Thirty. He once used his spear to kill 300 enemy warriors in a single battle. It was by such feats that he became as famous as the Three.
21
Abishai was the most famous of the Thirty and was their commander, though he was not one of the Three.
22
There was also Benaiah son of Jehoiada, a valiant warrior from Kabzeel. He did many heroic deeds, which included killing two champions of Moab. Another time, on a snowy day, he chased a lion down into a pit and killed it.

16
David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then at Bethlehem.
17
And David said longingly, "Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem that is by the gate!"
18
Then the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate and took it and brought it to David. But David would not drink it. He poured it out to the
Lord
19
and said, "Far be it from me before my God that I should do this. Shall I drink the lifeblood of these men? For at the risk of their lives they brought it." Therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.
20
Now Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the thirty. And he wielded his spear against 300 men and killed them and won a name beside the three.
21
He was the most renowned of the thirty and became their commander, but he did not attain to the three.
22
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was a valiant man of Kabzeel, a doer of great deeds. He struck down two heroes of Moab. He also went down and struck down a lion in a pit on a day when snow had fallen.
New International Version
Chapter 11
15
Three of the thirty chiefs came down to David to the rock at the cave of Adullam, while a band of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.
16
At that time David was in the stronghold, and the Philistine garrison was at Bethlehem.
17
David longed for water and said, "Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!"
18
So the Three broke through the Philistine lines, drew water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem and carried it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out to the
Lord
.
19
"God forbid that I should do this!" he said. "Should I drink the blood of these men who went at the risk of their lives?" Because they risked their lives to bring it back, David would not drink it. Such were the exploits of the three mighty warriors.
20
Abishai the brother of Joab was chief of the Three. He raised his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed, and so he became as famous as the Three.
21
He was doubly honored above the Three and became their commander, even though he was not included among them.
22
Benaiah son of Jehoiada, a valiant fighter from Kabzeel, performed great exploits. He struck down Moab’s two mightiest warriors. He also went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion.
