2 Samuel 23:10-16 Amplified Bible (AMP)

10. [Eleazar] arose and struck down the Philistines until his hand was weary and clung to the sword. The Lord wrought a great deliverance and victory that day; the men returned after him only to take the spoil.

11. Next to [Eleazar] was Shammah son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines were gathered at Lehi on a piece of ground full of lentils; and the [Israelites] fled from the Philistines.

12. But he stood in the midst of the ground and defended it and slew the Philistines; and the Lord wrought a great victory.

13. And three of the thirty chief men went down at harvest time to David in the cave of Adullam, and a troop of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.

14. And David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.

15. And David said longingly, Oh, that someone would give me a drink of water from the well of Bethlehem by the gate!

16. And the three mighty men broke through the army of the Philistines and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem by the gate and brought it to David. But he would not drink it, but poured it out to the Lord.
