2 Samuel 23:11-16 English Revised Version (ERV)

11. And after him was Shammah the son of Agce a Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines.

12. But he stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory.

13. And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philistines were encamped in the valley of Rephaim.

14. And David was then in the hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Beth-lehem.

15. And David longed and said, Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Beth-lehem which is by the gate!

16. And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the LORD.
