2 Samuel 23:11-17

11And afterH310 him was Shammah the sonH1121 of Agce a HarariteH2043. And the PhilistinesH6430 were gatheredH622 togetherH622 intoH1961 a troop, whereH8033 was a plotH2513 of groundH7704 fullH4395 of lentilsH5742; and the peopleH5971 fledH5127 from the PhilistinesH6430.

12But he stoodH3320 in the midstH8432 of the plotH2513, and defendedH5337 it, and slewH5221 the PhilistinesH6430: and the LORDH3068 wrought a greatH1419 victoryH8668.

13And threeH7970 of the thirtyH7970 chiefH7218 wentH935 downH3381, and cameH935 to DavidH1732 in the harvestH7105 time unto the caveH4631 of AdullamH5725; and the troop of the PhilistinesH6430 were encampedH2583 in the valleyH6010 of RephaimH7497.

14And DavidH1732 was then in the hold, and the garrisonH4673 of the PhilistinesH6430 was then in Beth-lehem.

15And DavidH1732 longedH183 and saidH559, OhH4310 that one would giveH8248 meH8248 waterH4325 to drinkH8248 of the wellH877 of Beth-lehem whichH834 is by the gateH8179!

16And the threeH7969 mightyH1368 menH1368 brake throughH935 the hostH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430, and drewH7579 waterH4325 outH413 of the wellH877 of Beth-lehem, that was by the gateH8179, and tookH5375 it, and broughtH935 it to DavidH1732: but he would notH3808 drinkH8354 thereof, but poured it outH413 unto the LORDH3068.

17And he saidH559, Be it farH2486 from meH5315, O LORDH3068, that I should doH6213 this: shall I drinkH8354 the bloodH1818 of the menH376 that wentH1980 in jeopardy of their livesH5315? therefore he would notH3808 drinkH8354 it. TheseH428 things didH6213 the threeH7969 mightyH1368 menH376.
