2 Samuel 23:11-17
11And after him wasH1961 Shammah the sonH1121 of Agee a HarariteH2043. And the PhilistinesH6430 wereH1961 gatheredH622 together into a troop, where wasH1961 a plot of ground fullH4395 of lentilsH5742; and the peopleH5971 fledH5127 from the PhilistinesH6430. 12But he stoodH3320 in the midstH8432 of the plot, and defended it, and slew the PhilistinesH6430; and Jehovah wrought a greatH1419 victoryH8668.
13And three of the thirtyH7970 chiefH7218 men wentH935 downH3381, and cameH935 to DavidH1732 in the harvestH7105 time unto the caveH4631 of AdullamH5725; and the troop of the PhilistinesH6430 was encampedH2583 in the valleyH6010 of RephaimH7497. 14And DavidH1732 was thenH227 in the stronghold; and the garrisonH4673 of the PhilistinesH6430 was thenH227 in Beth-lehem. 15And DavidH1732 longed, and saidH559, Oh that oneH834 would giveH8248 me waterH4325 to drinkH8248 of the wellH877 of Beth-lehem, which is by the gateH8179! 16And the threeH7969 mightyH1368 menH1368 brake through the host of the PhilistinesH6430, and drewH7579 waterH4325 out of the wellH877 of Beth-lehem, that was by the gateH8179, and tookH5375 it, and broughtH935 it to DavidH1732: but he wouldH14 not drinkH8354 thereof, but poured it out unto Jehovah. 17And he saidH559, Be it farH2486 from me, O Jehovah, that I should do this: shall I drinkH8354 the bloodH1818 of the menH376 that wentH1980 in jeopardy of their livesH5315? therefore he wouldH14 not drinkH8354 it. These thingsH428 did the threeH7969 mightyH1368 menH376.
