καὶ Δαυεὶδ τότε ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ, καὶ τὸ ὑπόστημα τῶν ἀλλοφύλων τότε ἐν Βαιθλέεμ. καὶ ἐπεθύμησεν Δαυεὶδ καὶ εἶπεν Τίς ποτιεῖ με ὕδωρ ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου τοῦ ἐν Βαιθλέεμ τοῦ ἐν τῇ πύλῃ ; τὸ δὲ σύστεμα τῶν ἀλλοφύλων τότε ἐν Βαιθλέεμ. καὶ διέρρηξαν οἱ τρεῖς δυνατοὶ ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ὑδρεύσαντο ὕδωρ ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου τοῦ ἐν Βαιθλέεμ τοῦ ἐν τῇ πύλῃ, καὶ ἔλαβαν καὶ παρεγένοντο πρὸς Δαυείδ, καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν πιεῖν αὐτό· καὶ ἔσπεισεν αὐτὸ τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ εἶπεν Ἵλεώς μοι, Κύριε, τοῦ ποιῆσαι τοῦτο· εἰ αἷμα τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν πορευθέντων ἐν ταῖς ψυχαῖς αὐτῶν πίομαι; καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν πιεῖν αὐτό. ταῦτα ἐποίησαν οἱ τρεῖς δυνατοί. καὶ Ἀβεισὰ ἀδελφὸς Ἰωάβ, υἱὸς Σαρουίας, αὐτὸς ἄρχων ἐν τοῖς τριςίν, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐξήγειρεν τὸ δόρυ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τριακοςίους τραυματίας· καὶ αὐτῷ ὄνομα ἐν τοῖς τρισίν· ἐκ τῶν τριῶν ἐκείνων ἔνδοξος, καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῖς εἰς ἄρχοντας, καὶ ἕως τῶν τριῶν οὐκ ἦλθε. καὶ Βαναίας υἱὸς Ἰωδᾶε, ἀνὴρ αὐτὸς πολλοστὸς ἔργοις ἀπὸ Καβεσεήλ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπάπαξεν τοὺς δύο υἱοὺς Ἀριὴλ τοῦ Μωάβ· καὶ αὐτὸς κατέβη καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν λέοντα ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ λάκκου ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς χιόνος. αὐτὸς ἐπάταξεν τὸν ἄνδρα τὸν Αἰγύπτιον, ἄνδρα ὁρατόν· ἐν δὲ τῇ χειρὶ τοῦ Αἰγυπτίου δόρυ ὡς ξύλον διαβάθρας· καὶ κατέβη πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ δόρατι καὶ ἥρπασεν τὸ δόρυ ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ Αἰγυπτίου, καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ δόρατι αὐτοῦ. ταῦτα ἐποίησεν Βαναίας υἱὸς Ἰωδᾶε, καὶ αὐτῷ ὄνομα ἐν τοῖς τρισὶν τοῖς δυνατοῖς· ἐκ τῶν τριῶν ἔνδοξος, καὶ πρὸς τοὺς τρεῖς οὐκ ἦλθεν, καὶ ἔταξεν αὐτὸν Δαυεὶδ εἰς τὰς ἀκοὰς αὐτοῦ. Καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν δυνατῶν Δαυεὶδ βασιλέως. Ἀσαὴλ ἀδελφὸς Ἰωάβ, οὗτος ἐν τοῖς τριάκοντα· Ἐλεανὰν υἱὸς Δουδεὶ πατραδέλφου αὐτοῦ ἐν Βαιθλέεμ· Σαιμὰ ὁ Ῥουδαῖος· Σελλὴς ὁ Κελωθεί· Εἴρας υἱὸς Εἰσκὰ ὁ Θεκωείτης· Ἀβειέζερ ὁ Ἀνωθείτης, ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν τοῦ Ἀνωθείτου·
