2 Samuel 23:17-19

Living Bible

¹⁷ “No, my God,” he exclaimed, “I cannot do it! This is the blood of these men who have risked their lives.”

^18-19 Of those three men, Abishai, the brother of Joab (son of Zeruiah), was the greatest. Once he took on three hundred of the enemy single-handed and killed them all. It was by such feats that he earned a reputation equal to the Three, though he was not actually one of them. But he was the greatest of the Thirty—the top-ranking officers of the army—and was their leader.
