1 Chronicles 11:19 in Context — 1 Chronicles 11
17 David eut un désir, et il dit: Qui me fera boire de l’eau de la citerne qui est à la porte de Bethléhem?
18 Alors les trois hommes passèrent au travers du camp des Philistins, et puisèrent de l’eau de la citerne qui est à la porte de Bethléhem. Ils l’apportèrent et la présentèrent à David; mais David ne voulut pas la boire, et il la répandit devant l’Éternel.
19 Il dit: Que mon Dieu me garde de faire cela! Boirais-je le sang de ces hommes qui sont allés au péril de leur vie? Car c’est au péril de leur vie qu’ils l’ont apportée. Et il ne voulut pas la boire. Voilà ce que firent ces trois vaillants hommes.
20 Abischaï, frère de Joab, était le chef des trois. Il brandit sa lance sur trois cents hommes, et les tua; et il eut du renom parmi les trois.
21 Il était le plus considéré des trois de la seconde série, et il fut leur chef; mais il n’égala pas les trois premiers.
