We know from the Scriptures themselves in 1 Chron. 11 that both Abishai and Benaiah were two of the three men who risked their lives to draw water out of the well of Bethlehem. The other one is not named, but these three divisions apparently did exist in David's army.

Here a good one I get hit with and always answer a question with a question:
Ezr 2:13 The children of Adonikam, six hundred sixty and six.
Ne 7:18 The children of Adonikam, six hundred threescore and seven.
1. How many Adonikams, one or two? How many Tims and Matthews are there on this forum?
2. Which group does Ezra record, Judah(southern kingdom) or Israel(northern kingdom)?
3. Which group does Nehemiah record, Judah(southern kingdom) or Israel(northern kingdom)?
As I said in my little thing on Triple Inspiration, the ones who criticize the Scriptures
the most are the ones who
study and
use it the
least.
Grace and peace my friends.
