2 Samuel 23:6-16

61But the worthless, every one of them will be thrust away like thorns, Because they cannot be taken in hand;7But the man who touches them Must be 2armed with iron and the shaft of a spear, And 3they will be completely burned with fire in their 4place.”

85These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the 6captains, he was called Adino the Eznite, because of eight hundred slain by him at one time; 9and after him was Eleazar the son of 7Dodo the 8Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David when they 9defied the Philistines who were gathered there to battle and the men of Israel had 10withdrawn. 1011He arose and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary and 12clung to the sword, and 13the Lord brought about a great 14victory that day; and the people returned after him only to strip the slain.

And the Philistines were gathered 16into a troop where there was a plot of ground full of lentils, and the people fled from the Philistines. 12But he took his stand in the midst of the plot, defended it and struck the Philistines; and 17the Lord brought about a great 18victory.

13Then three of the thirty chief men went down and came to David in the harvest time to the 19cave of Adullam, while the troop of the Philistines was camping in 20the valley of Rephaim. 14David was then 21in the stronghold, while the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem. 1522David had a craving and said, “Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem which is by the gate!” 1623So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water from the well of Bethlehem which was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David. Nevertheless he would not drink it, but 24poured it out to the Lord;
