2 Samuel 23:16-18

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁶ So three of the warriors 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. ¹⁷ David said, “Lord, I would never do such a thing! Is this not the blood of men who risked their lives?” So he refused to drink it. Such were the exploits of the three warriors.

¹⁸ Abishai, Joab’s brother and son of Zeruiah,^(A) was leader of the Three.^[a] He wielded his spear against three hundred men and killed them, gaining a reputation among the Three.
