1 Chronicles 11:16-22
English Standard Version

Chapter 11

16David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then at Bethlehem. 17And David said longingly, "Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem that is by the gate!" 18Then 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 19and 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.
20Now 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. 21He was the most renowned of the thirty and became their commander, but he did not attain to the three.
22And 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.
