1 Chronicles 11:18-20
Christian Standard Bible
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,(A) Joab’s brother, was the leader of the Three.[a] He raised his spear against three hundred men and killed them, gaining a reputation among the Three.
