1 Chronicles 11:20 in Context — 1 Chronicles 11
18 E aqueles três irromperam pelo acampamento dos filisteus, e tiraram água do poço de Belém, que está junto à porta, tomaram dela, e a trouxeram a Davi. Davi, porém não a quis beber; em vez disso, derramou-a ao SENHOR,
19 E disse: Deus me proíba de fazer isto! Beberia eu o sangue destes homens com suas vidas? Pois eles arriscaram suas vidas para a trazerem.Por isso ele não a quis beber. Isto fizeram aqueles três guerreiros.
20 E também Abisai, irmão de Joabe, foi o cabeça de três, o qual usando sua lança sobre trezentos, ele os matou; e foi famoso entre os três.
21 Dos três ele foi mais ilustre que os outros dois, por isso foi seu cabeça; porém não alcançou os três [primeiros] .
22 [Também] Benaia, filho de Joiada, filho de homem valente, de grandes feitos, de Cabzeel; ele matou dois dos poderosos guerreiros de Moabe; ele também desceu, e matou um leão dentro de uma cova no tempo da neve.
