1 Chronicles 11:19-21

English Standard Version

¹⁹ and said, “Far be it from me before my God that I should do this. Shall I drink the lifeblood of these men? For at the risk of their lives they brought it.” Therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.

²⁰ Now Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the thirty.^[a] And he wielded his spear against 300 men and killed them and won a name beside the three. ²¹ He was the most renowned^[b] of the thirty^[c] and became their commander, but he did not attain to the three.
