2 Samuel 23:13-39 And these three of the thirty of the lords went down and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave Adullam. And the Host of the Philistines had pitched in the valley of Giants.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ And these three of the thirty of the lords went down and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave Adullam. And the Host of the Philistines had pitched in the valley of Giants. ¹⁴ And David was then in a hold. And the soldiers of the Philistines were then in Bethlehem. ¹⁵ And David longed and said, "Oh, that I had of the water that is in the well in the gate of Bethlehem for to drink." ¹⁶ And anon the three mighty brake through the Host of the Philistines and fetched water out of the well of Bethlehem that was in the gate, and took and brought it to David: Nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but offered it unto the LORD ¹⁷ and said, "The LORD forbid that I should do so! Should I drink the blood of men that were in jeopardy of their lives?" And so he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men. ¹⁸ Then Abishai the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah: he was a captain over the three, and he lifted up his spear against three hundred and slew them, and was named with the three. ¹⁹ For he was nobler man than the three and was their captain. Howbeit he attained not unto those three in acts. ²⁰ Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada the son of a lusty man valiant in acts of Kabzeel, he slew two lions of Moab. He went down and slew a lion in a pit in time of snow. ²¹ And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man, which had a spear in his hand. And Benaiah 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 Such things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada and was the noblest of thirty: But not like to any of the three in facts of war. ²³ And David made him of his counsel. ²⁴ Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty. Then Elhanan, the son of Dodo of Bethlehem; ²⁵ Shammah the Harodite; Elika the Harodite; ²⁶ Helez the Paltite; Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite; ²⁷ Abiezer of Anathoth; Mebunnai the Hushathite; ²⁸ Zalmon an Ahohite; Maharai the Netophathite; ²⁹ Heleb the son of Baanah an Netophathite; Ittai the son of Ribai of Gibeah, a city of the children of Benjamin; ³⁰ Benaiah the Pirathonite; Hiddai of the river of Gaash; ³¹ Abialbon the Arbathite; Azmaveth a Barhumite; ³² Eliahba a Shaalbonite; Of the sons of Jashen, Jonathan; ³³ Shammah the Hararite; Ahiam the son of Sharar an Hararite; ³⁴ Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai the son of a Maachathite; Eliam the son of Ahithophel the Gilonite; ³⁵ Hezro the Carmelite; Paarai the Arbite; ³⁶ Igal the son of Nathan of Zobah; Bani the Gadite; ³⁷ Zelec an Ammonite; Naharai a Beerothite, the Harness bearer of Joab the son of Zeruiah; ³⁸ Ira the Ithrite; Gareb the Ithrite; ³⁹ Uriah the Hittite: in all thirty and seven.
