2 Samuel 23:17-19

New Century Version

¹⁷ saying, “May the Lord keep me from drinking this water! It would be like drinking the blood of the men who risked their lives!” So David refused to drink it. These were the brave things that the three warriors did.

¹⁸ Abishai, brother of Joab son of Zeruiah, was captain of the Three. Abishai fought three hundred soldiers with his spear and killed them. He became as famous as the Three ¹⁹ and was more honored than the Three. He became their commander even though he was not one of them.
