troop of the Philistines pitched in the valley of Rephaim.
14
And David
was
then in an hold, and
the garrison of the Philistines
was
then
in
Bethlehem.
15
And David longed, and said, Oh that one
would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which
is
by the gate!
16
And the three
mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem,
that
was
by the gate, and took
it,
and brought
it
to David: nevertheless he would not drink thereof,
but poured it out unto the L
ORD
.
17
And he said, Be it far from me, O L
ORD
, that I should do this:
is not this
the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink
it. These things did these three mighty men.
18
And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah,
was chief among three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred,
and
slew
them,
and had
the name among three.
19
Was he not most honourable of three? therefore he was their captain:
howbeit he attained not unto the
first
three.
20
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant
man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two lionlike men of Moab: he went down also
and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow:
21
And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man:
and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the
spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and slew him with his own spear.
22
These
things
did Benaiah
the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among three mighty men.
23
He was more honourable than
the thirty, but he attained not to the
first
three. And David set him over his guard.

CHAPTER SAMUEL 24
And again the anger of the L
ORD
was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to
say, Go, number Israel and Judah.
2
For the king said to Joab the captain of the host, which
was
with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, and number ye the
people, that I may know the number of the people.
3
And Joab said unto the king, Now the L
ORD
thy God add unto the people, how many soever they be, an hundredfold, and that the eyes of my
lord the king may see
it:
but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?
4
