2 Samuel 23:17-19
American Standard Version
17 And he said, Be it far from me, O Jehovah, that I should do this: shall I drink the blood of the men that went [a]in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.
18 And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred [b]and slew them, and had a name among the three. 19 Was he not most honorable of the three? therefore he was made their captain: howbeit he attained not unto the first three.
