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.”
18. The Three Warriors sneaked through the Philistine camp and got some water from the well near Bethlehem's gate. They took it back to David, but he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured out the water as a sacrifice to the Lord
19. and said, “Drinking this water would be like drinking the blood of these men who risked their lives to get it for me.”The Three Warriors did these brave deeds.
20. Joab's brother Abishai was the leader of the Thirty Warriors, and in one battle he killed three hundred men with his spear. He was just as famous as the Three Warriors
21. and was more famous than the rest of the Thirty Warriors. He was their commander, but he never became one of the Three Warriors.
22. Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was a brave man from Kabzeel who did some amazing things. One time he killed two of Moab's best fighters, and one snowy day he went into a pit and killed a lion.
