2 Samuel 23:9-16
9And after him was EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of Dodai the sonH1121 of an AhohiteH266, oneH376 of the threeH7969 mightyH1368 menH376 with DavidH1732, when they defied the PhilistinesH6430 that were there gatheredH622 together to battleH4421, and the menH376 of IsraelH3478 were goneH5927 away. 10He aroseH6965, and smote the PhilistinesH6430 until his handH3027 was wearyH3021, and his handH3027 clave unto the swordH2719; and Jehovah wrought a greatH1419 victoryH8668 that dayH3117; and the peopleH5971 returnedH7725 after him onlyH389 to take spoil.
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.
