1 Chronicles 11:18-20

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁸ Then the Three broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and they brought it to David. But David would not drink of it; he poured it out to the Lord, ¹⁹ and said, ‘My God forbid that I should do this. Can I drink the blood of these men? For at the risk of their lives they brought it.’ Therefore he would not drink it. The three warriors did these things.

²⁰ Now Abishai,^[a] the brother of Joab, was chief of the Thirty.^[b] With his spear he fought against three hundred and killed them, and won a name beside the Three.
