2 Samuel 23:6-16
61But the worthlessH1100, everyH3605 oneH3605 of them, are like scatteredH5074 thornsH6975, BecauseH3588 they cannotH3808 be takenH3947 in handH3027;7Instead, the manH376 who touchesH5060 them Must be 2armedH4390 with ironH1270 and the shaftH6086 of a spearH2595, And 3they will be completelyH8313 burnedH8313 with fireH784 in their 4placeH7675.”
85TheseH428 are the namesH8034 of the mightyH1368 menH1368 whomH834 DavidH1732 had: Josheb-basshebethH3429, a TahchemoniteH8461, chiefH7218 of the 6captainsH7991; he was called AdinoH5722 the EzniteH6112 becauseH5921 of eightH8083 hundredH3967 who were killedH2491 by him at oneH259 timeH6471. 9And afterH310 him was EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of 7DodoH1734 the 8AhohiteH266, one of the threeH7969 mightyH1368 menH1368 with DavidH1732 when they defiedH2778 the PhilistinesH6430 who were gatheredH622 thereH8033 to battleH4421 and the menH376 of IsraelH3478 had 9withdrawnH5927. 1010He roseH6965 upH6965 and struckH5221 the PhilistinesH6430 untilH5704H3588 his handH3027 was wearyH3021 and 11it clungH1692 to the swordH2719, and 12the LordH3068 broughtH6213 aboutH6213 a greatH1419 victoryH8668 that dayH3117; and the peopleH5971 returnedH7725 afterH310 him onlyH389 to plunderH6584 the dead.
11Now afterH310 him was ShammahH8048 the sonH1121 of AgeeH89, a 13HarariteH2043. And the PhilistinesH6430 were gatheredH622 14into an armyH2422 whereH8033 thereH8033 was a plotH2513 of landH7704 fullH4392 of lentilsH5742, and the peopleH5971 fledH5127 from the PhilistinesH6430. 12But he tookH3320 his standH3320 in the midstH8432 of the plotH2513, defendedH5337 it, and struckH5221 the PhilistinesH6430; and 15the LordH3068 broughtH6213 aboutH6213 a greatH1419 victoryH8668.
13Then threeH7969 of the thirtyH7970 chiefH7218 menH7218 wentH3381 downH3381 and cameH935 to DavidH1732 at harvestH7105 timeH7105 to the 16caveH4631 of AdullamH5725, while the armyH2422 of the PhilistinesH6430 was campingH2583 in 17the ValleyH6010 of RephaimH7497. 14DavidH1732 was thenH227 18in the strongholdH4686, while the garrisonH4673 of the PhilistinesH6430 was thenH227 in BethlehemH1035. 15And 19DavidH1732 hadH183 aH183 cravingH183 and saidH559, “OhH4310 that someoneH4310 would giveH8248 me waterH4325 toH8248 drinkH8248 from the wellH877 of BethlehemH1035 whichH834 is by the gateH8179!” 1620So the threeH7969 mightyH1368 menH1368 forcedH1234 their wayH1234 into the campH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430, and drewH7579 waterH4325 from the wellH877 of BethlehemH1035 whichH834 was by the gateH8179, and carriedH5375 it and broughtH935 it to DavidH1732. Yet he wouldH14 not drinkH8354 it, but 21pouredH5258 it outH5258 asH5258 anH5258 offeringH5258 to the LordH3068;
