2 Samuel 23:17-19
New King James Version
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. 19 Was he not the most honored of three? Therefore he became their captain. However, he did not attain to the first three.
