8. And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about, and Joab restored the rest of the city.
9. So David waxed greater and greater, for the Lord of the hosts was with him.
10. These also are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord.
11. And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, of Hachmoni, the chief of the captains; he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain at one time and killed them.
12. And after him was Eleazar, the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties.
13. He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where there was an inheritance of land full of barley; and as the people fled from before the Philistines,
14. they set themselves in the midst of that portion and delivered it and slew the Philistines; and the Lord saved them by a great salvation.
15. Now three of the thirty principal ones went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the camp of the Philistines was pitched in the valley of Rephaim.
16. And David was then in the fortress, and the Philistines’ garrison was then at Bethlehem.
17. And David longed and said, Oh, that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, that is at the gate!
18. And those three broke through the camp of the Philistines and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate and took it and brought it to David; but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to the Lord,
19. and said, May God keep me from doing this thing. Shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? For with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it. Therefore, he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest.
20. And Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of three, who had lifted up his spear against three hundred, whom he slew and had a name among the three.
