10 This is the list of David’s famous soldiers. Together with the rest of the people of Israel, they helped him become king, as the Lordhad promised, and they kept his kingdom strong.
11 First was Jashobeamof the clan of Hachmon, the leader of "The Three."11.11: One ancient translation (see also 2 S 23.8) "The Three"; Hebrew "The Thirty."He fought with his spear against three hundred men and killed them all in one battle. 12 Next among the famous "Three" was Eleazarson of Dodo, of the clan of Ahoh. 13 He fought on David’s side against the Philistines at the battle of Pas Dammim. He was in a barley field when the Israelites started to run away, 14 so he and his men took a stand in the middle of the field and fought the Philistines. The Lordgave him a great victory.
15 One day three of the thirty leading soldiers went to a rock where Davidwas staying near AdullamCave, while a band of Philistines was camping in Rephaim Valley. 16 At that time Davidwas on a fortified hill, and a group of Philistines had occupied Bethlehem. 17 Davidgot homesick and said, "How I wish someone would bring me a drink of water from the well by the gate in Bethlehem!" 18 The three famous soldiers forced their way through the Philistine camp, drew some water from the well, and brought it back to David. But he would not drink it; instead he poured it out as an offering to the Lord19 and said, "I could never drink this! It would be like drinking the blood of these men who risked their lives!" So he refused to drink it. These were the brave deeds of the three famous soldiers.
20 Joab’s brother Abishaiwas the leader of "The Famous Thirty."11.20: One ancient translation Thirty; Hebrew Three.He fought with his spear against three hundred men and killed them, and became famous among "The Thirty."11.20: One ancient translation (see also 2 S 23.18) "The Thirty"; Hebrew "The Three."21 He was the most famous of "The Thirty"11.21: Probable text (see 2 S 23.19) most famous of "The Thirty"; Hebrew unclear.and became their leader, but he was not as famous as "The Three."
22 Benaiahson of Jehoiadafrom Kabzeelwas a famous soldier; he did many brave deeds, including killing two great Moabitewarriors. He once went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion. 23 He also killed an Egyptian, a huge man seven and a half feet tall, who was armed with a gigantic spear. Benaiah attacked him with a club, snatched the spear from the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with it. 24 Those were the brave deeds of Benaiah, who was one of "The Thirty."11.24: Probable text "The Thirty"; Hebrew "The Three."25 He was outstanding among "The Thirty," but not as famous as "The Three."
