For with their lives they have brought it"; and he was not willing to drink it; these [things] the three mighty ones did.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Strengthened themselves - Or “exerted themselves” - “strenuously assisted with all Israel in making David king.” This list of David’s principal heroes belongs, therefore, to his reign at Hebron. In Samuel the list is not given until nearly the end of David’s reign 2 Samuel 23:8-39.
