2 Samuel 23:8-17

81These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-basshebeth, a Tahchemonite, chief of the 2captains; he was called Adino the Eznite because of eight hundred who were killed by him at one time. 9And after him was Eleazar the son of 3Dodo the 4Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there to battle and the men of Israel had 5withdrawn. 106He rose up and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary and 7it clung to the sword, and 8the Lord brought about a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to plunder the dead.

11Now after him was Shammah the son of Agee, a 9Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered 10into an army where there was a plot of land 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 victory.

13Then three of the thirty chief men went down and came to David at harvest time to the 12cave of Adullam, while the army of the Philistines was camping in 13the Valley of Rephaim. 14David was then 14in the stronghold, while the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem. 15And 15David had a craving and said, “Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem which is by the gate!” 1616So the three mighty men forced their way into the camp of the Philistines, and drew water from the well of Bethlehem which was by the gate, and carried it and brought it to David. Yet he would not drink it, but 17poured it out as an offering to the Lord; 17and he said, “Far be it from me, Lord, that I would do this! 18Should I drink the blood of the men who went at the risk of their lives?” So he would not drink it. These things the three mighty men did.
