  《东周列国志》描述:“有齐人孟贲字说,以力闻,水行不避蛟龙,陆行不避虎狼,发怒吐气,声响动天。尝于野外见两牛相斗,孟贲从中以手分之,一牛伏地,一牛犹触不止。贲怒,左右按牛头,以右手拔其角,角出牛死。人畏其勇,莫敢与抗。闻秦王招致天下勇力之士,乃西渡黄河。岸上人待渡者甚从,常日,以次上船。贲最后至,强欲登船先渡。船人怒其不逊,以楫击其头曰:“汝用强如此,岂孟说耶?”贲瞋目两视,发植目裂,举声一喝,波涛顿作。舟中之人,惶惧颠倒,尽扬播入于河。贲振桡顿足,一去数丈,须臾过岸,竟入咸阳,来见武王。”。
  后来孟贲成为战国时期秦武王手下的勇士,关于孟贲的事迹,《史记秦本纪》曾有详细的记述说:"武王有力好战,力士任鄙,乌获、孟说皆至大官;王与孟说举鼎绝膑死,族孟说……"
  公元前307年,秦武王带着重兵去东周国都洛阳观看九龙神鼎。秦武王年少骁勇,喜欢举鼎。他手下有知名的三个大力士,叫孟贲、乌获、任鄙,都是举鼎能手,也陪伴着他到洛阳。其中,孟贲又名孟说,水行不避蛟龙,陆行不避虎犀,能生拔牛角,发怒吐气,声响动天,尤为勇猛。九龙神鼎是世上瑰宝,秦武王一看见它,举致大发,便借此机会与孟贲比试举鼎,以显示一下秦在列国中的地位。这位年少好强的武王,抓住一只龙纹赤鼎猛地举了起来,殊不知此鼎重量过大,终因力气不支,累得双目出血;力尽鼎落,又砸断了膑骨。结果秦武王不治而死,丢了王位。无辜的孟贲也因此获罪,被诛杀九族。(还有一说,孟贲是卫国人,后来才由于秦武王"有力好战",被罗致到秦国去的。)
  孟贲是因为举鼎而获罪被诛九族而死。所以又说孟贲因勇而死。
