2 Samuel 23:9-16
9and after him was Eleazar the son of 1Dodo the 2Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David when they 3defied the Philistines who were gathered there to battle and the men of Israel had 4withdrawn. 105He arose and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary and 6clung to the sword, and 7the Lord brought about a great 8victory that day; and the people returned after him only to strip the slain.

And the Philistines were gathered 10into 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 11the Lord brought about a great 12victory.
13Then three of the thirty chief men went down and came to David in the harvest time to the 13cave of Adullam, while the troop of the Philistines was camping in 14the valley of Rephaim. 14David was then 15in the stronghold, while the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem. 1516David had a craving and said, “Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem which is by the gate!” 1617So 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 18poured it out to the Lord;
