13. During a battle against the Philistines at Pas-Dammim, all the Israelite soldiers ran away,
14. except Eleazar, who stayed with David. They took their positions in a nearby barley field and defeated the Philistines! The Lord gave Israel a great victory that day.
15. One time the Three Warriors went to meet David among the rocks at Adullam Cave. The Philistine army had set up camp in Rephaim Valley
16. and had taken over Bethlehem. David was in a fortress,
17. and he said, “I'm very thirsty. I wish I had a drink of water from the well by the gate to Bethlehem.”
