15 E Davi teve desejo, e disse: Quem me dera a beber da água da cisterna de Belém, que está à porta!
16 Então os três valentes irromperam pelo acampamento dos filisteus, e tiraram água da cisterna de Belém, que estava à porta; e tomaram, e trouxeram-na a Davi: mas ele não a quis beber, mas derramou-a ao SENHOR, dizendo:
17 Longe seja de mim, ó SENHOR, que eu faça isto. Eis de beber eu o sangue dos homens que foram com perigo de sua vida? E não quis bebê-la. Os três valentes fizeram isto.
18 E Abisai irmão de Joabe, filho de Zeruia, foi o principal dos três; o qual levantou sua lança contra trezentos, que matou; e teve nome entre os três.
19 Ele era o mais preeminente dos três, e o primeiro deles; mas não chegou aos três primeiros.
