1 Chronicles 11:19-21

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁹ and he said, “Be it far from me before my God that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of these men who went ^[a]at the risk of their lives? For at the risk of their lives they brought it.” Therefore he would not drink it. These things the three mighty men did.

²⁰ As for ^[b]Abshai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the ^[c]thirty, and he swung his spear against three hundred ^[d]and killed them; and he had a name as well as the ^[e]thirty. ²¹ Of the three in the second rank he was the most honored and became their commander; however, he did not attain to the first three.
