2 Samuel 23:17-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ David said, “Lord, I can’t drink this! It would be like drinking the blood of the men who risked their lives!” So David refused to drink the water. These were the brave things that the three warriors did.

¹⁸ Abishai was the brother of Joab son of Zeruiah. He was captain of the Three. Abishai used his spear against 300 enemies and killed them. He became as famous as the Three. ¹⁹ Abishai received even more honor than the Three. He became their commander. But he was not a member of them.
