11. The first of these warriors was Jashobeam the son of Hachmoni, the leader of the Three Warriors. In one battle he killed three hundred men with his spear.
12. Another one of the Three Warriors was Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite.
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.”
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.
