2 Samuel 23:16-18

New King James Version

¹⁶ So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David. Nevertheless he would not drink it, but poured it out to the Lord. ¹⁷ And he said, “Far be it from me, O Lord, that I should do this! Is this not ^(A)the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives?” Therefore he would not drink it.

These things were done by the three mighty men.

¹⁸ Now ^(B)Abishai the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of ^[a]another three. He lifted his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name among these three.
