David's Mighty Men
10
1Now these are the chiefs of David's mighty men, who gave him strong support in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, 2according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.
11
This is an account of David's mighty men: 3Jashobeam, a 4Hachmonite, was 5chief of the three.a He wielded his spear against 300 whom he killed at one time.
12
And next to him among the three mighty men was Eleazar the son of 6Dodo, the Ahohite.
13
He was with David at Pas-dammim 7when the Philistines were gathered there for battle. There was a plot of ground full of barley, and the men fled from the Philistines.
14
But he took hisb stand in the midst of the plot and defended it and killed the Philistines. And the LORD saved them by a great victory.
15
Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David at the cave of Adullam, when the army of Philistines was encamped in the 8Valley of Rephaim.
16
David was then in the stronghold, and the 9garrison 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.c And he wielded his spear against 300 men and killed them and won a name beside the three.
21
He was the most renownedd of the thirtye and became their commander, but he did not attain to the three.
22
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was a valiant manf 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.
23
And he struck down an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubitsg tall. The Egyptian had in his hand a spear 10like a weaver's beam, but Benaiah went down to him with a staff and snatched the spear out of the Egyptian's hand and killed him with his own spear.
24
These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada and won a name beside the three mighty men.
25
He was renowned among the thirty, but he did not attain to the three. And David set him over his bodyguard.
