15. and David longeth and saith, `Who doth give me a drink of the water of the well of Beth-Lehem, which [is] by the gate?'
16. And the three mighty ones cleave through the camp of the Philistines, and draw water out of the well of Beth-Lehem, which [is] by the gate, and take [it] up, and bring in unto David; and he was not willing to drink it, and poureth it out to Jehovah,
17. and saith, `Far be it from me, O Jehovah, to do this; is it the blood of the men who are going with their lives?' and he was not willing to drink it; these [things] did the three mighty ones.
18. And Abishai brother of Joab, son of Zeruiah, he [is] head of three, and he is lifting up his spear against three hundred--wounded, and he hath a name among three.
19. Of the three is he not the honoured? and he becometh their head; and unto the [first] three he hath not come.
20. And Benaiah son of Jehoiada (son of a man of valour, great in deeds from Kabzeel), he hath smitten two lion-like men of Moab, and he hath gone down and smitten the lion in the midst of the pit in a day of snow.
21. And he hath smitten the Egyptian man, a man of appearance, and in the hand of the Egyptian [is] a spear, and he goeth down unto him with a rod, and taketh violently away the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slayeth him with his own spear.
22. These [things] hath Benaiah son of Jehoiada done, and hath a name among three mighty.
23. Of the thirty he is honoured, and unto the three he came not; and David setteth him over his guard.
24. Asahel brother of Joab [is] of the thirty; Elhanan son of Dodo of Beth-Lehem.
