1 Chronicles 11:28

1 Chronicles 11:10-47

¹⁰Now these are the heads of the mighty men whom David had, who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of YHWH concerning Israel. ¹¹And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam son of Hachmoni, head of the captains; he brandished his spear against three hundred slain at one time. ¹²After him was Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite; he was among the three mighty men. ¹³He was with David at Pas-dammim, and the Philistines had gathered there for battle; and there was a plot of the field full of barley, and the people fled from before the Philistines. ¹⁴But they took their stand in the middle of the plot and delivered it, and they struck the Philistines; and YHWH saved them with a great salvation. ¹⁵Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock, to David, to the cave of Adullam, while the camp of the Philistines was camped in the Valley of Rephaim. ¹⁶David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then at Bethlehem. ¹⁷David longed and said, “Who will give me a drink of water from the well of Bethlehem that is by the gate?” ¹⁸The three broke through the camp of the Philistines and drew water from the well of Bethlehem that is by the gate, and they carried it and brought it to David; but David was not willing to drink it, and he poured it out as a libation to YHWH. ¹⁹And he said, “Far be it from me, by my Elohim, to do this! Shall I drink the blood of these men at the risk of their lives? For at the risk of their lives they brought it.” And he was not willing to drink it. These things the three mighty men did. ²⁰As for Abishai, the brother of Joab, he was head of the three; and he brandished his spear against three hundred slain, and he had a name among the three. ²¹Of the three, he was more honored than the other two, and he became their commander; but he did not attain to the three. ²²Benaiah son of Jehoiada, son of a valiant man, great in deeds, from Kabzeel: he struck the two Ariel of Moab; and he went down and struck the lion in the middle of the well on the day of the snow. ²³And he struck the Egyptian man, a man of great stature, five cubits tall. In the hand of the Egyptian was a spear like a beam of weavers, and he went down to him with a staff, snatched the spear from the hand of the Egyptian, and killed him with his own spear. ²⁴These things Benaiah son of Jehoiada did, and he had a name among the three mighty men. ²⁵He was more honored than the thirty, but he did not attain to the three. And David set him over his guard. ²⁶The mighty men of the troops: Asahel brother of Joab; Elhanan son of Dodo of Bethlehem; ²⁷Shammoth the Harorite; Helez the Pelonite; ²⁸Ira son of Ikkesh the Tekoite; Abiezer the Anathothite; ²⁹Sibbecai the Hushathite; Ilai the Ahohite; ³⁰Maharai the Netophathite; Heled son of Baanah the Netophathite; ³¹Ithai son of Ribai from Gibeah of the sons of Benjamin; Benaiah the Pirathonite; ³²Hurai from the wadis of Gaash; Abiel the Arbathite; ³³Azmaveth the Baharumite; Eliahba the Shaalbonite;

2 Samuel 23:8-39

⁸These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshebeth, a Tahchemonite, head of the captains; he was Adino the Eznite; he was against eight hundred slain at one time. ⁹After him was Eleazar son of Dodo, son of an Ahohite, among the three mighty men with David when they taunted the Philistines who had gathered there for battle, and the men of Israel withdrew. ¹⁰He rose and struck the Philistines until his hand grew weary and his hand stuck to the sword; and YHWH brought about a great salvation on that day; and the people returned after him only to strip the slain. ¹¹After him was Shammah son of Agee, the Hararite. The Philistines gathered in a troop, and there was there a plot of the field full of lentils; and the people fled from before the Philistines. ¹²But he took his stand in the middle of the plot and delivered it and struck the Philistines; and YHWH brought about a great salvation. ¹³Three of the thirty chief men went down and came, at harvest time, to David, to the cave of Adullam, while the troop of the Philistines was camped in the Valley of Rephaim. ¹⁴David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then at Bethlehem. ¹⁵David longed and said, “Who will give me a drink of water from the well of Bethlehem that is by the gate?” ¹⁶The three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines and drew water from the well of Bethlehem that is by the gate, and they carried it and brought it to David; but he was not willing to drink it, and he poured it out as a libation to YHWH. ¹⁷He said, “Far be it from me, YHWH, to do this! Shall I drink the blood of the men who went at the risk of their lives?” And he was not willing to drink it. These things the three mighty men did. ¹⁸Abishai, the brother of Joab, son of Zeruiah, he was head of the three; and he brandished his spear against three hundred slain, and he had a name among the three. ¹⁹Of the three, was he not the most honored? He became their commander, but to the three he did not attain. ²⁰Benaiah son of Jehoiada was the son of a valiant man, great in deeds, from Kabzeel; he struck the two Ariel of Moab; and he went down and struck the lion in the middle of the well on the day of the snow. ²¹He struck an Egyptian man, a man of imposing appearance. In the hand of the Egyptian was a spear, and he went down to him with a staff and snatched the spear from the hand of the Egyptian and killed him with his own spear. ²²These things Benaiah son of Jehoiada did, and he had a name among the three mighty men. ²³Than the thirty he was more honored, but to the three he did not attain. And David set him over his guard. ²⁴Asahel, the brother of Joab, was among the thirty; Elhanan son of Dodo of Bethlehem; ²⁵Shammah the Harodite; Elika the Harodite; ²⁶Helez the Paltite; Ira son of Ikkesh the Tekoite; ²⁷Abiezer the Anathothite; Mebunnai the Hushathite; ²⁸Zalmon the Ahohite; Maharai the Netophathite; ²⁹Heleb son of Baanah the Netophathite; Ittai son of Ribai from Gibeah of the sons of Benjamin; ³⁰Benaiah, a Pirathonite; Hiddai from the wadis of Gaash; ³¹Abi-albon the Arbathite; Azmaveth the Barhumite;
