1 Chronicles 11:20

← 1 Chronicles 11:19	1 Chronicles 11:20 (KJV)	1 Chronicles 11:21 →
And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with [the jeopardy of] their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest.	And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew [them], and had a name among the three.	Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was their captain: howbeit he attained not to the [first] three.
