2 Samuel 23:8-17

8These be the namesH8034 of the mighty menH1368 whom DavidH1732 had: The TachmoniteH8461 that satH3427 in the seatH3429H7675, chiefH7218 among the captainsH7991; the same was AdinoH5722 the EzniteH6112: he lift up his spear against eightH8083 hundredH3967, whom he slewH2491 at oneH259 timeH6471.123 9And afterH310 him was EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of DodoH1734 the AhohiteH266, one of the threeH7969 mighty menH1368 with DavidH1732, when they defiedH2778 the PhilistinesH6430 that were there gathered togetherH622 to battleH4421, and the menH376 of IsraelH3478 were gone awayH5927: 10He aroseH6965, and smoteH5221 the PhilistinesH6430 untilH3588 his handH3027 was wearyH3021, and his handH3027 claveH1692 unto the swordH2719: And YhwhH3068 wroughtH6213 a greatH1419 victoryH8668 that dayH3117; and the peopleH5971 returnedH7725 afterH310 him only to spoilH6584. 11And afterH310 him was ShammahH8048 the sonH1121 of AgeeH89 the HarariteH2043. And the PhilistinesH6430 were gathered togetherH622 into a troopH2416, where was a pieceH2513 of groundH7704 fullH4392 of lentilesH5742: and the peopleH5971 fledH5127 fromH6440 the PhilistinesH6430.4 12But he stoodH3320 in the midstH8432 of the groundH2513, and defendedH5337 it, and slewH5221 the PhilistinesH6430: And YhwhH3068 wroughtH6213 a greatH1419 victoryH8668. 13And threeH7970H7969 of the thirtyH7970 chiefH7218 went downH3381, and cameH935 to DavidH1732 in the harvest timeH7105 unto the caveH4631 of AdullamH5725: and the troopH2416 of the PhilistinesH6430 pitchedH2583 in the valleyH6010 of RephaimH7497.5 14And DavidH1732 was then in an holdH4686, and the garrisonH4673 of the PhilistinesH6430 was then in Beth–lehemH1035. 15And DavidH1732 longedH183, and saidH559, Oh that one would give me drinkH8248 of the waterH4325 of the wellH953 of Beth–lehemH1035, which is by the gateH8179! 16And the threeH7969 mighty menH1368 brake throughH1234 the armyH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430, and drewH7579 waterH4325 out of the wellH953 of Beth–lehemH1035, that was by the gateH8179, and tookH5375 it, and broughtH935 it to DavidH1732: nevertheless he wouldH14 not drinkH8354 thereof, but poured it outH5258 unto YhwhH3068. 17And he saidH559, Be it farH2486 from me, O YhwhH3068, that I should doH6213 this: is not this the bloodH1818 of the menH582 that wentH1980 in jeopardy of their livesH5315? therefore he wouldH14 not drinkH8354 it. These things didH6213 these threeH7969 mighty menH1368.
