         in Hebron, 2 Samuel 5:5.

1 Chronicles 11:11
11:11 And this [is] the number of the mighty men whom David had;
      Jashobeam, an Hachmonite, the {b} chief of the captains:
      he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain [by
      him] at one time.

11:19 And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this
      thing: shall I drink the {e} 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.

      (e) That is, this water, for which they risked their
          lives.
